Response to DB:

I checked the County website and do not see anything on their list of accepted items that is not also accepted by ECUA.

Thank you all for your positive enthusiasm. We are very excited about this enhancement to our program and continue to work to make it better.

Is there anything remaining that the county drop-off recycling centers will accept that the ECUA will not?

This is actually pretty remarkable. There are big cities which don’t have such a comprehensive no-sort recycling system. A couple of these items — the glass and pizza boxes — are notoriously difficult to handle.

It’s now possible for most household to send very little bulk to the landfill, with equally little hassle. If you’re composting food scraps, most homes will generate a 30 gallon bag or less of non-recyclable waste a week. That’s terrific. Good job, ECUA.

My recycle can is tan, not gray. I try to recycle as much as possible. This is a great program.
