Walmart & Waste Management have been gracious enough to provide Woodland Park and Teller County residents with a free-to-use recycling facility in the Walmart parking lot. But unfortunately it continues to be misused. And I’m afraid if that misuse continues, we’ll no longer have the facility.
PLEASE make sure all your recyclables get in the bins. If you drop something, pick it up. This will help us reduce litter. And it’s especially important if what you drop is glass .. that’s a safety issue. Times are tight for everybody. None of us want to have to replace a tire because of carelessness.
Also please note that Waste Management does not want plastic grocery sacks in the comingled recycling bin … they clog the sorting machines. If your comingled recyclables (plastic, glass and metal) are in plastic bags, please tear the bags open and dump their contents in the bins. Then place your empty plastic bags in the green totes for separate recycling.
