PLEASE DON'T CONTAMINATE THE RECYCLING PROCESS!

The recycling process can be easily contaminated by throwing regular garbage in with the recyclables. The Recycling Program is actually a business providing raw material to manufacturers of new products. The manufacturers expect the material to be pure. When they reject a load of material, it is because of contamination.

Single Stream Recycling

If you do all your recycling through your own waste hauler, you may not be aware that other recycling opportunities exist. The five Saratoga County Recycling Centers are open to all County Residents, and accept Single Stream Recyclables, along with Scrap Metal items, Automotive Batteries, & Propane Tanks. SEE OPPOSITE SIDE FOR DETAILS. DID YOU KNOW? Recycling with your munic-

ipality produces tax-saving revenue, because the materials are sold to local

recycling markets.
