Expanded Recycling

With hardly a whisper, Brevard County suddenly got cleaner and greener on June 1, 2006, when eight participating cities (Indian Harbour Beach included) began an expanded pilot recycling program offered by Waste Management. This new, convenient, one-sort recycling system eliminates the need to sort the materials into different bins, and many more items will be accepted for recycling. While you can still use your three bins, and place them at the curb for collection on Mondays as usual, you can now intermingle the following expanded list of items:

• Paper: Magazines, phone books, paper bags, envelopes (with or without plastic windows), junk mail, catalogs, cereal boxes, newspaper, glossy newspaper inserts, circulars and milk and juice cartons
• Plastics: Jars and bottles, numbers 1 through 7 (numbers are found on the bottom of the container or receptacle)
• Glass: Brown, green and clear
• Aluminum, steel and tin cans: Beverages, food and pet food
