Gwen Hall from Northeast Indiana Solid Waste Management District joins Andy St. John on WLKI 100.3 to discuss important recycling practices and service updates during the holiday season. Learn about the Household Hazardous Waste collection days, including schedule changes and accepted items like paints, oils, and electronics.
Gwen emphasizes the critical need to break down all boxes before recycling, especially large holiday gift boxes, to ensure enough space in the collection bins for everyone. Hear what cannot be recycled, such as non-paper wrapping paper and bows, stressing the rule: "If it's not on the bin, don't put it in." Get the details on winter hours for composting sites and a request to residents to avoid overpacking bins to prevent messes and frozen waste on the ground.
