A reminder to all residents and property owners: do not put recycling out at the curb for pickup in plastic bags. Place your recycling in 32 gallon garbage pails.
The DPW is also asking that you do not mix window glass, crockery, dishes, flower pots, plastic utensils, toys, aluminum pie tins, aluminum foil, or take-out food containers, yogurt containers, used motor oil containers, and plastic grocery bags in your recycling.
The only items Bergenfield recycles, which are listed on the back of the 2011 Calendar and on the web site are: glass containers, aluminum, tin, and metal cans, and liquid plastic bottles #1 and #2. All items should be rinsed before putting out for recycling in your garbage can.
