Recycling has been in the news lately and sadly the news has been how most people aren’t utilizing their recyclable containers the correct way. When non-recyclable items are tossed into a recyclable container it increases the cost to recycle since they must take the extra steps to remove those non-recyclable items.


Johanna Eubank with the Arizona Daily Star wrote a piece “A guide to what you can — and can't — recycle in Tucson” see link to full article below.


In the article Johanna breaks down what is recyclable and what isn’t.


Recycle the most important and cost-effective items and don't worry about the rest:

Cans ─ soda, soup, other cans (empty, clean and dry is the rule for all recycling) and you can leave the labels on

Plastic ─ water bottles, other drink bottles, clamshell fruit or take-out containers, rigid plastic like detergent bottles

Paper ─ junk mail (plastic windows on envelopes are fine), newspapers, office paper, shredded paper (in clear plastic bags for much of the area) and cardboard


I was surprised to know that you shouldn’t recycle pizza boxes. I never knew that the grease and crumbs in the box make it non-recyclable.
