First three weeks of curbside recycling a success in St. Cloud
The city of St. Cloud Public Services Solid Waste staff has announced that the first three weeks of curbside single-stream recycling in the city have been successful.
“Participation has been very good during the first weeks of our recycling program,” Public Services Administrator Randy Jackson said. “We truly appreciate the support and enthusiasm of our customers. Customers paid attention to the list of recyclables; the recycling center’s personnel have been impressed with the quality of our recyclable stream. We encourage customers currently recycling to continue and for those not yet recycling to give it a try. The benefits of recycling are many – economically and environmentally. And any benefits in these areas automatically benefit the city as a whole. This is a great way for the community to improve an already fantastic city.”
Customers are reminded that no additional charge was added for recycling. The city schedule is 1-1-1: garbage collection one day per week, recycling collection one day per week and yard waste collection one day per week. Only the maroon cart should be rolled out on garbage collection day, only the blue cart should be rolled out on recycling collection day, and only the green cart should be rolled out on yard waste collection day.
Plastic bottles are recyclable; however, customers are asked to dispose of plastic bags, Styrofoam/plastic foam and shredded paper in the garbage. All recyclable material should have the lids removed, be rinsed, and placed loosely in the blue carts – not in bags, particularly plastic grocery bags, plastic garbage bags or plastic sleeve bags. Placing recyclable items in bags impedes sorting at the recycling center.
The city of St. Cloud’s goal is for every customer to participate in curbside recycling. However, drop-off recycling centers continue to be available to the public.
For a complete listing of recyclables or for more details on the curbside recycling program, visit www.stcloud.org or call the Solid Waste Division at 407-957-7289.
