Poll: Are you recycling?

Yes, you know you should but are you?

Did you know in the Williamsburg last year, the city collected 12,166,490 lbs. of recyclables from city operations and residents. That is a whole lot waste that can be remade into other materials. Way to go Williamsburg!

Here are some tips on recycling:

• Be sure to rinse food residue from your cans and bottles.
• On windy days, place heavier items on top of lighter, paper items to hold them securely in the bin.
• Let it get wet on rainy days, wet materials are acceptable.
• Please only recycle bottle-shaped #1 and #2 plastics. Remember to remove caps. Other types of plastic containers, such as flower pots and clear "clamshell" containers are not acceptable.
