Note:

What can be recycled in Spring Hill?

• Newspaper – Please take it out of the plastic bag before placing in the recycling bin.  The bags are not recyclable with the newspaper, but can be recycled with the plastic shopping bags at your local grocery store.

• Cardboard – Please flatten boxes.  Remove any  packing material inside the box.  Large boxes must be cut down to the dimensions no larger than 3’ x 3’.   Cereal, cracker, pizza (without food), and similar boxes are also acceptable.

• Plastic #1 and #2 bottles – (No motor oil containers).   This includes food containers such as cooking oil and salad dressings; personal care products like shampoo or lotion; cleaning products such as window cleaner, laundry detergent, floor cleaner; and, of course, soda, milk and water bottles.  If unsure whether the plastic bottle is recyclable, look on the bottom for a triangle.  If the number inside of it is a #1 or #2, then it is recyclable.

• Aluminum cans

• Steel cans – Labels do NOT have to be removed.

We do ask that all containers be rinsed.  For those concerned with using excess water to rinse containers, a simple solution to rinsing peanut butter jars is to put it in your dishwasher when you wash your next load of dishes – No extra water expended.
