All-In-One Recycling Starts Wednesday

New recycling measures take effect Wednesday in the Town of Huntington, town officials say.

That means Huntington residents can combine all recyclables in one container for collection. You no longer need to sort your paper and cardboard from your bottles, cans and plastics.

Here’s what can go into an all-in-one container

Mixed Paper: Newspaper, magazines, mail (junk and personal), school papers, scrap paper, Pennysavers and other circulars, cereal and other grocery boxes, paperback books, detergent boxes and shoe boxes.

Cardboard: Shipping and other corrugated boxes. Any boxes that cannot easily fit in your dedicated recycling container may be flattened, tied and placed alongside the recycling container.

Glass: Empty jars and bottles (rinsed). Lids and tops are recyclable but should be removed and placed loose in the recycling container.

Metal: Empty tin and aluminum food and beverage cans (rinsed), aerosol cans, disposable aluminum pans and trays, clean aluminum foil, empty oil cans and empty paint cans.

Plastic: All plastic food, beverage, soap, shampoo, conditioner, detergent, bleach, and cleaner bottles and containers with ∆1 through ∆7 accepted (please rinse before recycling).

Place your “All In One” recycling at the curb on days indicated by the on-line Trash Pickup and Recycling Calendar. Make sure the container is marked with a recycling sticker and has holes in the bottom for drainage. Use any rigid container that is 39 gallons or less in volume and weighs 50 lbs. or less when full. If one recycling container isn’t enough to hold everything just add another.
