recycling

Paul chats with Tiffiany from Waste Management to clear up any recycling confusion.

My wife and I are getting ready to move, and I always begin the packing process by throwing away anything I can. I happen to have an old PlayStation that doesn't work anymore, and I had planned on just throwing it in the dumpster sometime this week. Turns out, I have to recycle it instead.

There have definitely been times, usually when I'm packing and getting ready to move, that I need to trow a bunch of paper in the recycle bin. And I'm certain that on every one of those occasions, I have thrown old photographs in the recycle bin as well. I mean, they're still paper, right?

Now that the deal is done and you've begun working on next year's Christmas list, it's time to get rid of that old tree.

Are you wondering where to recycle your Christmas tree in Fort Collins? According to the City of Fort Collins, residents will be able to drop off trees at one of four locations in town, or at a fifth in Wellington. Trees can be dropped off between December 26th, 2012-January 16th, 2013. The Christmas tree recycling is a free service, just make sure you remove any lights, string, wire, ornaments, tinsel, or fake snow before you drop it off.

Are you looking for an excuse to finally replace your old refrigerator and/or freezer? If you live in Fort Collins you have until the end of the month to get a double-rebate from the City of Fort Collins for doing just that!
