Does your New Year’s resolution involve kicking your junk food habit? If you’re cleaning out your refrigerator or pantry, remember that all unwanted and expired food can be placed in the Organics Cart to be recycled! In addition to fruit and vegetable scraps, cooked leftovers and processed foods like potato chips and candy can be recycled into renewable natural gas and compost! Simply place these foods in a compostable bag, brown paper bag, or wrap with newspaper and toss it... in your Organics Cart.

Este año, la recolección y reciclaje de árboles de Navidad se llevará a cabo del 28 de diciembre de 2020 al 8 de enero de 2021. El día de Navidad (25 de diciembre) y el día de Año Nuevo (1 de enero) se consideran días festivos. Siga los siguientes 3 pasos al colocar su árbol navideño para disposición: Coloque el árbol en el suelo junto a sus carritos basura. Quite todas las decoraciones de los árboles y el soporte. Si el árbol mide más de 6 pies, córtelo por la mitad.... Tenga en cuenta que CR&R espera retrasos en la recolección de árboles de Navidad debido a los impactos del COVID-19 y la disponibilidad de los conductores de camiones de basura y el aumento continuo de desechos como resultado de los pedidos enviados a casa. CMSD agradece enormemente su paciencia durante este momento difícil. Encuentre más información en http://ow.ly/L6ht50CC5ug.
