Upgrading your TV this year just in time for the Big Game? 🏈 (But who`s counting?) Don`t put the old one in the recycling!
Here`s a game plan:
🏆Trading a working television for a better fit? Consider donation.
🏆Old TV on the injured reserve list? Repair it.
🏆Old standby ready for retirement? Check with your city/town for e-waste recycling or search Beyond the Bin: link in bio.
P.S.: Make sure that giant box the new one comes in gets broken down and put in the recycling bin!

Got a little cleaning on your new year to-do list? We get it. But do NOT put disposable cleaning wipes in your recycling. (That includes things like dusting pads, too.)
We don`t know who needs to hear this, but don`t flush `em either—put them in the trash!

Let your recyclables breathe! 😮💨 Don’t bag your recyclables or ""nest"" them within other items, like boxes.
Why? Sorting facilities process tons of material per hour, and there`s no time to break open bags (paper or plastic). Plus, stuff inside could be a safety hazard. Make sure your recycling actually gets recycled: keep it loose! 🤙
