Recycling Contamination Education Program
Customers who use their recycling cart as another trash receptacle hold our community back from reaching diversion goals by contaminating recyclables. Waste Management is stepping up education and monitoring efforts to help reach diversion goals. But customers who don’t clean up their act, could lose the right to participate in the program.
Here’s how it works….
When contamination is spotted in the recycling cart, the contamination will be photographed, and that photo will be attached to the account. You will be able to see this photo on your WM account and a follow-up letter is sent to the customer which includes a photo of the contamination for reference and a list of options available for disposing of non-recyclables. Education materials about what belongs in the recycling cart is also provided. If it’s not on the list, it can’t be recycled curbside. Click here for more information.
- The first two contamination incidents will result in notification letters.
- The third and fourth contamination incidents will result in a notification letter and a fine.
- On the fifth occurrence, the customer receives a letter informing them they have lost their option to participate in the program and the recycling cart is removed.
