A wonderful cause. When it's time to dispose of the tea lights, please remove and recycle the batteries (Staples takes them), and put the light in trash, not recycling Batteries cause fires in trash trucks and at facilities.
Yay Westwood! To look up whether specific items are recyclable in our carts (only clean paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and rigid containers), check out the searchable Recyclopedia here https://recyclesmartma.org/
Has there been a breakdown of how much of the contaminated recycling comes from commercial vs. residential recycling bins?
