Free countywide recycling drop-offs sponsored by Monroe County Recycling and Green Community Program and Republic Services will continue in August.
There are no changes in the August schedule of drop-offs, said Dan Rock, Recycling and Green Community Program coordinator for the county.
The recycling trailer will appear first on Monday at the Kroger store off M-50 in Dundee. On Tuesday, it will be at the Bedford Township Hall in Temperance and visit there every Tuesday during the month.
It also visits St. Joseph Catholic Grade School in Erie Aug. 11 and Kroger again Aug. 17. It also will visit the Monroe Township Hall at 4925 E. Dunbar Rd. every Wednesday.
Visitors are reminded to bring only materials accepted for recycling and that plastic bags should not be dropped into the bins. Recyclables can be dropped loosely inside and plastic bags can be dropped off at grocery store entrances.
Those materials accepted for recycling include aluminum, steel and tin cans; clear and colored glass; plastics labeled Nos. 1-5 or 7; newspapers, slicks, office paper and magazines; junk mail; soft-cover books; paperboard, and milk and juice cartons. Lids and labels can be included.
Recyclables should be clean and dry and dropped in loose. Greasy pizza boxes, soiled paper, diapers and food are not accepted.
To recycle other materials, such as batteries, CFL bulbs, computers, laptop computers, televisions and electronics, contact Rock at 734-240-7909 or email Dan_rock@monroemi.org or visit greenmonroecounty.com.
