On July 1st, Boston Residents Can Recycle More!

[Joan Pasquale]

 

RECYCLE MORE...Trash Less As of July 1, 2009, you no longer have to separate paper and cardboard from cans and bottles. Instead, you may mix all recyclables together in one large container. Less sorting, more RECYCLING! To provide you with more space to recycle, over the next 12 months, the City will be delivering large wheeled carts to residences with one to six units. You will receive  notification shortly before your cart is delivered. When you receive your cart, put your address on it and please take care of it; it will not be replaced. If you move, please leave your cart behind for the next resident. Other Recycling Options While you are waiting for your cart, or if the cart isn't the right size for your household, you can: Convert a trash can into a recycling container. When you recycle more, you'll have less trash and won't need as many trash cans. Convert an unneeded can into a recycling container. The can must be no larger than 32 gallons and have a lid. Call 617-635-4500 to request an official sticker to label one of your existing trash cans as a recycling container. Continue using your blue bin. You may continue to use your blue bin; however, the City will no longer provide new or replacement bins. Items Acceptable for Recycling The following items can be mixed together in your recycling cart or container as of July 1, 2009. Leaving plastic windows, staples, paper clips, and spirals in paper is okay. Please rinse out cans, bottles, and jars. Leaving labels and lids on is okay. Newspapers with inserts Magazines and catalogs Junk mail, colored paper Flattened food boxes Paperback books Pizza boxes (empty) Flattened cardboard boxes Telephone books Milk and juice cartons Juice/soymilk boxes Glass jars and bottles Aluminum and tin cans All plastic containers NEW ITEM! Spiral cans (potato chip/coffee/nut cans, etc) NEW ITEM!

But the city still does not provide this service to tax paying condo owners!

 

After 36 years in Brighton I moved to Newton 3 years ago but still have a passionate caring for Brighton.  Newton also does not provide recylcing for condo owners.  I was told by an alderman that it is due to a negotiation for some sort of deal with the development of the condo - that the city won't provide trash pick up or recycling. If this is true, there should be a time limit.  I believe my old condo on Englewood Ave was converted around 1990. So after 19 years shouldn't that deal, if there was one, be re-negotiated?  Condo owners pay taxes too but don't get the service. And I have been told by friends in other cities that this inequity exists there too.

I just received a brochure in the mail called Boston Recycling & Trash Directory.   On page 7 there is a section about Recycling in Large Apartment Buildings and Condos.  The last sentence says, "To place a large building recycling request, call 617-635-4500".

Hope this works.
