Plastic Recycling
At Waste Connections, we transform discarded plastic bottles into storm water systems and other beneficial products for your community. In doing so, we contribute to constructing a cleaner environment that will last for generations to come.
How to Prepare Recyclables
We recommend you:
Check weather forecast first: If the forecast calls for high winds or rain, keep your recyclables inside until the following pickup, if possible.
Extract all packaging: Contents may include styrofoam, peanuts, plastic, bubble wrap, plastic liners, etc.
Cover loose paper: Any loose paper should be contained with heavier containers to prevent it from blowing away.
Remove plastic bags: Always place your recyclables directly in your recycling container rather than sorting into plastic bags.

Incorrect Battery Disposal Can Cause Fires
Common household items are convenient and generally safe, however, the batteries in them pose risks when disposed into regular garbage or recycling containers because of their highly flammable nature.
Remove the batteries
Check any electronic devices you need to dispose of. If possible, remove the batteries. If not, bring the whole device to your local drop off location.Store batteries in a safe place
Store batteries in non-metallic containers (plastic, cardboard, or glass) to prevent the conduction of electricity in case of a spark.Find your local drop off location
Find a local electronic disposal store, or find a battery drop off location near you.
