Waste centers across the Metroplex are experiencing one of their busiest weeks of the year, including Republic Services’ recycling center of Plano.
“A lot of folks mean well when they recycle, but a lot of the items can cause more harm than good,” said Ben Ayers, an operational manager for the facility.
“We do see additional garbage in our recycling stream over the holidays and that’s just a result of people being hopeful when they throw things into the recycling bin that it’s recyclable,” General Manager Amy Adcos said. They also say to organize your food waste. None of it should be recycled in your bin, but it is encouraged to compost what you can.
