Lincoln Transportation and Utilities (LTU) Waste Management Division reminded residents to manage their waste and recycling this holiday season by using the free \u201cWhat Bin Does It Go In?\u201d online service at lincoln.ne.gov\/recycle. Residents may enter items in a search field to determine if they are reusable, recyclable, or hazardous, how they may be disposed, and if a disposal fee or restriction is required.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommon questions our Solid Waste Management team receives over the holidays include how to recycle items like stringed lights, bows, bubble wrap, old toys, appliances and electronics,\u201d said Willa DiCostanzo, Waste Diversion Coordinator. \u201cThis online tool helps residents easily determine how to properly dispose or recycle waste items.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because large amounts of recyclable materials are generated during the holidays, LTU reminds residents to avoid \u201cwishcycling,\u201d which is assuming non-recyclable items will be recycled simply because they have been diverted from the trash bin. Additionally, nonrecyclable items such as plastic bags damage the machines used to process recyclables, contaminate other recyclables and can endanger workers who must enter machinery to remove tangled materials. Solid Waste Management recommends the best time for recyclers to drop off recycling at City recyclables collection sites is during weekdays several days after the holidays.<\/p>\n
