Colton Recycles Waste & Recycling Update for Colton Residents - Republic Services - Winter 2015

SMALL CHANGES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

C

Colton Recycles

olton is a city we’re all proud to call home, and it takes commitment from all of us to maintain the safety and health of our community. The choices we make every day like recycling and picking up litter can support a healthy, clean environment for us all.

32

Before getting into recycling, consider precycling.

Precycling is examining food and product packaging before making your purchase. The National Recycling Coalition suggest: “In the store you may ask, ‘Is this nutritious? Is it fattening?’ Now ask, ‘How is it packaged?’” Look for products that use less packaging.

We can eliminate a third of what we throw away just by considering the packaging before buying.

Taking a few extra minutes each day to sort your waste will reduce the amount of trash you have, and it will ensure that recyclables are being recovered and not sent to landfills. It is estimated that a majority of the nation’s trash sent to landfills could be recycled, but it isn’t.

In Home Ease - Having an additional container in your kitchen can ease the recycling process before trash is taken out. A small container can be placed near the trash container in the kitchen for items that are recyclable – glass, aluminum, plastic, paper, etc. Place these items in the recyclable container immediately so they are not forgotten and thrown out as trash.

When in Doubt, Throw It Out - If you have you ever spent time trying to decide if something is or isn’t recyclable, keep in mind that it’s best to throw

something out if there is a doubt – this will help to avoid contaminating recyclables or yard waste. Check for the recyclable symbol on any item you think may be recyclable. The “chasing arrows” symbol will appear if, in fact, the item is meant to be recycled. If the symbol isn’t present, or if you have questions or need information about what is and isn’t recyclable, please call 909-3703377. And remember, you’re always a winner when you recycle.

Recycling...It Works Because of You!

PLANNING TO CLEAN-UP? Have you been putting off a major cleaning, landscaping or remodeling project because you don’t know what to do with all the trash? Well, don’t put it off any longer. Colton Disposal offers a wide variety of services to help you with your project including: •

Three Cubic Yard Containers - for smaller household or garage clean-ups. (4’W X 6’L X 4’D)

•

Low and High Sided Roll-Off Containers - for larger clean-ups and remodeling projects. (8’W X 18’L X 2 - 6’D)

•

Free Bulky Item Pick-Up Service - Colton Disposal offers single family residents a FREE* bulky item pick up service. We’ll remove old appliances and furniture at no cost to you! (*There is a disposal fee for items containing CFC’s/freon.) To request any of these services please call Colton Disposal at 909-370-3377.

•

Public Disposal Center - If you prefer to drop off your waste the Inland Regional Material Recovery Facility is ready to meet your disposal needs! Centrally located in Colton off the 10 Fwy., at 2059 E Steel Road. The Center is open to the public Monday through Friday 7 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. All items accepted excluding hazardous waste. For informaiton please call Inland Regional MRF at 909-422-0794.

Help get the most out of your recyclables • • • • • •

Don’t stuff trash or recyclables inside boxes or bags Flatten boxes to conserve space in your container Empty the contents of all bottles, jars and cans to avoid contamination Don’t crush aluminum cans Don’t bundle newspaper, place in a paper bag or loose Never place waste from your yard in your recycle container

Green Building for a Healthier Lifestyle

For additional information or to order a temporary cleanup bin or a construction roll-off container call 909-370-3377.

SAFETY TIP FOR DISPOSING OF HOT ASHES With the onset of cold temperatures, many Colton residents with fireplaces use them to provide warmth and comfort. Recently, however, fireplace ashes have resulted in fires in trash trucks. Officials are urging residents to make sure that their fireplace ashes are cold and completely extinguished before placing them in their carts or dumpster. It takes only one spark to ignite all the trash in a truck or a dumpster. Residents should make sure their fireplace ashes are cold and dead before throwing them in the trash.

Holiday Schedule Residential collection will be delayed by one day, if your regular collection falls on or after one of these holidays: Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day,

Colton Recycles

As local recycling laws become more stringent residential construction and renovation project are required to divert construction and demolition (C&D) debris away from the landfill through reuse and recycle. As the City’s only approved hauler, Republic Services makes it easy for residents to comply with Green Building requirements and promote a healthy lifestyle. C&D debris collected from your residential project is transported to Republic’s material recovery faclity. Through waste separation technologies at its facility, Republic recovers and diverts more than 75 percent of the C&D it collects helping the City reach its diversion goals.

Independence Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day.
