Here's an list of easy ways you can recycle MORE in Minnesota. Some things may surprise you! Not all of these items can be put in your curbside bin. Please check with your county recycling coordinator to learn what can be left curbside and what needs to be brought elsewhere.
Recycle more paper
• Magazines and books with hard covers removed
• Window envelopes and junk mail. No need to remove the window!
• Cereal, pasta, rice and other boxboard containers. If the box holds food from your cupboard it can be recycled, if it goes in your fridge or freezer, it usually can't.
• Don't for get the bathroom: toilet paper rolls and tooth paste boxes are paper too.
Recycle more of those "odd ball" items
• Shoes- Minnesota-based Wipers Recycling recycles shoes into oil spill clean up kits.
• Clothing- U'SAgain and Goodwill both recycle clothes that can't be resold.
• Crayons- You can send in your unwanted, broken crayons to be recycled into new crazy crayons.
