ALBUQUERQUE’S SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT SEES A BIG SPIKE IN RECYCLABLE MATERIAL OVER THE HOLIDAYS. SPOKESMAN BOBBY SISNEROS SAYS IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO BE UP TO SPEED ON WHAT YOU CAN PUT IN YOUR RECYCLE BIN.
YOU CAN PUT CARDBOARD IN YOUR BLUE RECYCLE BIN IF THE CARDBOARD HAS BEEN BROKEN DOWN AND FLATTENED. OTHER ITEMS THEY’LL ACCEPT INCLUDE CANS, PLASTIC CONTAINERS AND PLASTIC BOTTLES AND PAPER BAGS.
THINGS THAT THEY DON’T WANT INCLUDE WRAPPING PAPER, TISSUE PAPER, CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND ORNAMENTS. ALSO NO BOWS, STYROFOAM, PLASTIC WRAP AND CHRISTMAS TREES.
