3/20/2018 China's limits on recycling being fell in Triangle, North Carolina I News & Observer <br />How to help <br />• Consult your city or town's recycling program to see what items they accept and most importantly which ones they do not. <br />See a list of links below. Some common items that should not be in your recycling bin include food waste, styrofoam, <br />electronics, shoes, appliances, greasy pizza boxes and clothing. <br />• Leave out items that can gum up the machinery in the recycling plant, including plastic bags, garden hoses, strings of <br />Christmas lights and old VHS tapes. Many grocery stores will take back the plastic grocery bags, which can be recycled. <br />Put items in your bin loose, not in a plastic trash or kitchen garbage bag. The recycling plant operators don't know what's <br />inside those bags, and don't always take the time to rip them open. <br />Wake County residents can take all sorts of items, from propane tanks, paint, cellphones and appliances to VHS tapes and <br />oyster shells, to the county's two recycling drop -off sites. For the complete list, and where you can take them, go to <br />maps .wakegov.com /sw /index.html #/. <br />In addition, Raleigh residents can take advantage of the city's new program for recycling shoes and clothing. <br />For information about what to put in the recycling bins in your community, go to: <br />Apex: www.apemc.org /552 /Residential- Recycling <br />Cary: http: //nando.com /50s <br />Chapel Hill /Carrboro: http: / /mndo.com/50t <br />Chatham County: http: //nando.com /50u <br />Clayton: http: / /nando.com /50v <br />City of Durham: durhamnc.gov /862/Recycling <br />Durham County: http: / /nmdo.com/wd <br />Fuquay- Varina: www.fugmy- varina.org /397 /Recycling - Collection- Service _ <br />Garner: http: //nando.wm /50w <br />Holly Springs: www.hollyspringsnc.us /69 /Garbage - Recycling <br />Johnston County: www. johnstonnc .cam/recycling/recwaste.cfm <br />Knightdale: http: / /nando.com /50z <br />Morrisville: http: //hmdo.com /50x <br />Orange County: http: //nando.com /50t <br />Raleigh: www.raleighnc.gov /recycling <br />Rolesville: http: / /mndo.com /50y <br />Wake Forest: www .wakeforestnc.gov/recycling.aspx <br />http:IAw ..namobsemer.wm/ news /business/adicie205298704.html 7/10 <br />
