Don't let your recycling bins turn into a real-life horror story! 🧟‍♂️❌

This Halloween, keep the "boos" out of the collection bins. Wishful recycling (like tossing in plastic bags, food containers, or unrinsed items) can ruin an entire batch of perfectly good recyclables.

NO 🙂‍↔️:
Yogurt containers
Bagged plastic material
Or berry clamshells

Let's keep things clean and green this spooky season! 🎃

HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY THIS WEEKEND! Thank you for not leaving any recycling materials with our new hours!

Important announcement:
The recycling bins at Shelby Drive are now only available Monday at 7 a.m. through Saturday at 3 p.m. At 3 p.m. on Saturdays, the bins will be moved inside our secured yard and will not be accessible again until Monday morning.

This means there will be no recycling drop-off available at Shelby Drive after 3 p.m. Saturday or at any time on Sunday. Please do not leave recyclable materials on the ground or in the parking lot when the bins are unavailable.

For recycling outside of these hours, our drop-off sites at Posse Grounds Park and Uptown remain accessible 24/7.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

🧚‍♂️ The “Recycling Fairy” Isn’t Real: The Truth About Contamination

Let’s bust a major myth right out of the gate: There is no "recycling fairy" sorting your recycling.

Many of us are guilty of "wish cycling." This is when you throw questionable items into the blue bin hoping that someone, somewhere, will figure out a way to recycle it. In reality, we separate recyclables, not garbage.

When you throw trash or unaccepted materials into the recycling bin, it doesn’t magically get transformed.

Please tell your friends and help us fight contamination at our bins!

Our call to action: Stop bringing unaccepted items to Sedona Recycles.

We are small non profit operation, we are not a dumping site for people who don’t want to pay to dispose of their own trash.

We pay $580/month in trash collection service for our organization and 90% of that comes from contamination (non recyclable items placed in our bins). Most of it is small items that add up, but far too often, it is overt dumping like this—construction debris, furniture, mattresses, etc.

Tell your friends! If you see it happening let a staff member know! And most importantly: recycling is a community effort. We can't do this alone.

THIS IS ILLEGAL DUMPING!

If anyone knows these individuals seen here blatantly dumping their giant pieces of wood into our cardboard recycling bin in broad daylight yesterday, we’d be extremely grateful for that information.

We are small non profit operation, we are not a dumping site for people who don’t want to pay to dispose of their own trash.

We pay $580/month in trash collection service for our organization and 90% of that comes from contamination (non recyclable items placed in our bins). Most of it is small items that add up, but far too often, it is overt dumping like this—construction debris, furniture, mattresses, etc.

When inconsiderate individuals like this put these large items in our bins, our staff has to stop doing their normal work to manually remove them. This costs our organization money, time, and resources — and it’s totally avoidable.

Behavior like this is why we’ve had to close many of our drop-off sites over the years.

Please, let any Sedona Recycles team member know whenever you see something like this happening.

Part two of how your recyclable materials moves through the recycling center!

Everything has to be sorted by type and materials. Here we are looking at just bottles. Plastic bottles with a bottle neck.

Every single time you put into the bin matters! Make sure you know what we accept and help make recycling easy!

A friendly daily reminder for our Recyclers! Send this to someone who needs to know the secret 🤐🤫

Hi Recyclers! Lately we've been getting batteries and containers and we wanted to address this issue.

We do not take any batteries in any form in any container. Please collect them and bring them to the next City of Sedona Hazardous Waste drop off in October!
