Canton’s recycling service, Priority Waste, spot checks recycling carts for contamination. Contamination occurs when non-recyclables are placed in the carts which can include anything from food waste to plastic bags.
Recycling loads with contamination are rejected from the recycling
facility. Canton is asking residents to be vigilant in their recycling
efforts by keeping contamination out of recycling carts. Not adhering to the recycling guidelines, along with the poor materials markets, is having a negative impact on recycling nationwide. Residents should place ONLY clean, acceptable materials in their recycling cart.
Failure to comply with Canton’s guidelines will
impact our program going forward through increased rates, restricted
materials lists, temporary recycling bans, or a combination of any of
these.
