It’s almost time for America to celebrate its independence. With this holiday, barbecues and picnics come to mind. You may not have realized that many of the items that you use when you have a barbecue or picnic are recyclable.
Many products and packaging you may use to prepare your barbecue feast are recyclable. Make sure you have a recycle bin available to dispose of these materials when the time comes. Here are some items that you should look out for when you’re at your next gathering. Just make sure they are empty and rinsed. Then they may be tossed in your single stream recycling container and placed at the curb on your next collection day!
