EDCO's Recycling Guidelines

Glass Bottles & Jars

Recycle all food and beverage containers—clear and colored glass. Please rinse. No need to remove labels though.

Cardboard

Flatten or cut boxes to a size that fits comfortably inside recycling cart.

Newspapers

Recycle your newspaper and everything that is delivered with it—including inserts, coupons, etc.

Cans

Recycle aluminum cans and steel cans—including clean & dry paint cans, and empty aerosol cans. Also recycle aluminum foil.

Mixed Paper

Recycle virtually all clean and dry paper including: writing paper (all colors), computer paper, Xerox paper, "no carbon required" (NCR) forms, catalogs, brochures, magazines, junk mail, phone books, post-it type notes, and shredded paper (place shredded paper inside paper bags to contain shreds). EDCO accepts them all, PLUS if those items have staples, window envelopes, or even those little metal clasps on legal envelopes, they're OK, too! But, please, no large metal items like clasps on Acofastener notebooks or 3-ring binders.

You can also recycle cereal boxes and other clean food packaging, including cake boxes, flour bags, frozen dinner boxes, paper egg cartons, and soda/beer 12-pack carrying boxes. Also recycle paper grocery bags, gift boxes, shoe boxes, paper gift wrap, calendars, and core tubes from paper towels, etc.

Recycling Alternatives:

• Plastic grocery bags can be returned to grocery stores for recycling or they can be reused.
• Batteries and light bulbs need to be disposed of properly and not placed in trash or recycling containers. Visit our website for proper disposal of HHW items.

Large items

Items that are too large to place in blue recycling cart can be dropped off at no cost at any of our Buyback Centers.
