RE: Recycling in Corbett: Good News!

Feb. 13, 2019

As per Multnomah County Planning Director Michael Cerbone, 12 Mile/Crown Point Refuse/Recycling will immediately start picking up and separating residential recycling (Blue Bin) again.
~~The company has also agreed to send out updated recycling information to every customer, possibly as an insert with the monthly bill~~ - Not accurate per subsequent message from the County.

For recycling to become a success again in our community, and to support the haulers' work, please:
1. Separate - only corrugated cardboard, paper and metal in Blue Bin, with glass in separate paper bags placed next to Blue Bin
2. Only put clean recyclables into bins: free of food remnants, oil, or other contaminants

It is unclear what the current status of plastic recycling is (particularly #1 and #2): someone should contact the company and get updated information, and let us know.

Please observe whether the recyclables are properly processed by the haulers- either by using separate trucks or separate compartments on one truck.

Please pass this information on to your local neighbors and friends.
