Unfortunately, the 10 households inspected on this route did not pass inspection. Most were due to food-tainted items found in the recycling carts, which should be placed in the refuse cart; and paper, cardboard, and newsprint found in the refuse carts, which should be placed in the recycling cart.

We appreciate everyone’s efforts in being One and Done Marathon Recyclers, and plan to continue holding more similar contests to keep the recycling energy and enthusiasm going.
