Orange Tree Terrace - Recycling: NO plastic bags; Flatten boxes; more....
Good afternoon, Orange Tree Terrace Owners,
On July 15 we sent you a notification about recycling "contamination." That's Waste Management’s (“WM”) jargon for anything that should not have been recycled. Thank you for the improvements so far.
But we need everyone to cut down (flatten) ALL boxes (frozen dinner boxes all the way up through shipping cartons), AND we need you NOT to bag your recyclables. (Bag your trash, yes, but not recycling.) Other restrictions:
- No plastic bags
- No plastic wrap and film
- No flexible packaging
- No cups with wax or plastic coating
- No polystyrene foam or plastic
WM mentions that flexible plastic, like bags, get tangling in their machinery. So that means those inflatable plastic shipping bumpers don't go in our dumpsters either. They should be able to go to the collection bin at participating stores. https://how2recycle.info/sdo

Please help us avoid fines and fees, so we can avoid an increase to Association Dues!
Owners with tenants, please share this important information!
Thank you!
