It is located at 1316 N. 14th St.. Suite 150 (in the City Government Center.) The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Medications need to be safely disposed of to prevent pollution of our lakes and rivers and to keep drugs out of the hands of young people who are in- creasingly experimenting with prescrip- tion medication, sometimes with disas- trous results. Although it is completely confidential you should cover your name but leave the name of the medication on the bot- tle. Syringes and thermometers cannot be accepted. (See page People are sometimes puzzled about recycling plastics. Plastics are chemically-diverse materials. Fortunately, a national coding system requires most consumer plastics to be labeled with a resin code. This helps consumers iden- tify the type of plastic in their containers and know whether or not they can be recycled. On a plastic item, look for an im- printed triangle with a number one through seven in the center. Numbers one through six each represent a different plastic resin; number seven includes all other plastics. This resin code symbol is usually printed on the bottom of a plastic container. While these symbols provide guidance, view them with caution some cannot be recycled. Check your hauler’s web page to learn what they recycle. http://www.hartels-dbj.com/household- recycling---superior_1110.php http://www.wmnorthernminnesota.com/ environmental/recycling.asp TIRES AT BRULE, LAKE NE- BAGAMON & SOLON SPRINGS—$2.00 each for car tires, $4.00 on the rim, more for larger tires Sample Rates at Fairgrounds : Most Appliances: Free Freezers & refrigerators $15 Computers, laptops Free Printers, stereos, DVDs, phones, VCRs etc. Free Console televisions $15 Projection televisions $15 Plastic Televisions $5 Monitors $5 Monitors or TVs with broken glass $10 Fluorescent bulbs Under 4’ $ .50 Over 5’ $ .75 Shatter Shield fluorescents Under 4’ $1.75 Over 5’ $2.25 Recycling Plastics 101 New Service for Safe Medication Disposal!

Some- thing as simple as switching to a reusable lunch bag will greatly re- duce your “contribution” to landfills.

Try to avoid buying items in- tended to be used once and then discarded. Become an environmen- tally smart consumer.

Superior/Douglas County Recycling Douglas County Postal Customer After twenty plus years of recycling in Wisconsin some people still think that the recyclables end up in the landfill. Nothing could be further than the truth. Today vast quantities of paper, card- board, plastic, metal and glass are efficiently sorted and baled for ship- ment to buyers all over the United States and the world. Wisconsin has more than 85 Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) and recy- cling centers. They sort through hundreds of thousands of tons of material collected locally and pre- pared for sale. Companies work hard to find sources for these materials. They make multi-million dollar investments in machinery to convert the recycled materials into brand new goods. They have learned that recycled materials saves them money over virgin materials in the manufacturing process. Recycling aluminum for example saves 95% of the energy it would take to make a product from aluminum ore. It saves 40% of the energy to make newsprint from recy- cled paper and 70% to make a prod- uct from recycled plastic. Saving energy is good for the business and for you because it also means fewer air and water pollution emissions. Sadly, some of our recyclables still end up in the landfill but not because the recycling haulers take them there but because they never get put in the recycling to begin with. The Wiscon- sin DNR estimates that in 2009 $50 million dollars worth of recyclables were landfilled. Additionally, the recycling industry is showing rapid growth and creating new jobs that are boosting our man- ufacturing jobs economy. Recycling is just plain good sense!
