Paper is an extremely #recyclable material except when it gets 💧 wet, then it 🚫 cannot be #recycled. Be sure to keep your paper materials in your recycling cart dry by doing these 3 simple things: 🔸 Always make sure your ♻️ #recycling cart lid is shut so that rainwater cannot get in and contaminate the paper or cardboard. 🔸 Be sure to #empty + #rinse out all liquids from other containers that end up in the recycling cart. 🔸 Only place #dry paper goods in the recycling cart including cardboard. ➡️ If it is already wet, place it in the 🗑️ #trash cart. Thank you for being a ⭐ Super Recycler!
