Facebook: Think that greasy pizza box goes in the recycling bin? Think again — Not! Once greasy food comes into contact with paper, it’s no longer recyclable.

But always put your empty PET plastic drink bottles and HDPE plastic jugs in recycling bins. Recycling contamination is a BIG issue. #IfInDoubtThrowItOut #EndContamination
