“Recycle virtually all clean and dry paper” — EDCO

Trash
Pizza boxes aren’t clean and dry paper.  So,  apparently EDCO doesn’t want pizza boxes in the recycles bin.

Foam nuggets, styrofoam peanuts

Plastic bags… The grocery stores around here aren’t taking them any more for recycling. Even bags that hold other recycled items are not wanted in the recycle bins.
