The following materials can be placed at the curb as recyclables or brought to the Recycling Center located at 476 West Main Street. Additions to Recycling Program Single-Ply Cardboard © Residents may include single-ply cardboard such as shoe boxes, cereal boxes and gift boxes with their corrugated cardboard for recycling. Adding single-ply cardboard to the current recyciing program is intended to remove this material from the household waste stream and reduce the amount of garbage sent to landfills. «Pizza boxes are not included. Pizza boxes are made from corrugated cardboard, however, the cardboard becomes soiled with grease, cheese, and other foods once the pizza has been placed in the box. Once soiled, the cardboard cannot be recycled because the paper fibers can not be separated from the oils during the pulping process. Paper and cardboard soiled with food oils are the primary reason that these items cannot be recycled. Plastic Food containers #3, #4 and #5 Empty yogurt, cottage cheese and margarine containers can be placed with recycling instead of ending up in the garbage and taking up space in a landfill. Plastic food containers with a recycling symbol from 1 to 5 are accepted for recycling. (Due to a previously adopted state law, all plastic food containers must have a recycling symbol with ‘a number from 1 to 7 indicating the type of plastic resin it is made of. Wyckoff has been recycling plastic containers coded #1 and #2 since those recyclable markets have been available.) In addition to the recyclable items mentioned, some of the other recyclable items that will be accepted are: frozen whipped topping containers, some plastic storage containers, medicine bottles (be sure to remove the label or cross out any personal information) and some take-out or fruit containers. Be sure to check the symbol on the bottom of the container before discarding. Although plastic pipes used for toys, sporting equipment and plumbing jobs are made of PVC (#3), they cannot be placed with the recyclables since the recycling market will not accept them.
