Recycling rules

Dear Readers:We’re all into recycling, but not everything is recyclable. Here are some biggies to keep out of the recycle bin:All medical waste (needles, syringes, etc.).Plastic shopping bags — return these to the store.Food — can attract rodents.Plastic-coated paper containers, such as food boxes and some fast-food cups.Shredded paper — can clog the sorting equipment (put in compost instead).Hazardous materials, such as motor oil and ammunition.
