Recently,
China
enacted
stricter
recycling
rules
which
are
impacting
the
local
recycling
market
and
it's
especially
being
felt
in
the
recycling
of
mixed
papers
such
as
magazines,
junk
mail
and
office
paper
with
more
on
the
recycling
front,
is
Bell
V
utilities
conservation
and
outreach
program,
administrator,
Jennifer,
Goodheart
Jennifer.
It's
great
to
have
you.

B
Can
rinse
everything
if
it
has
had
had
food
in
it?
They
need
to
rinse
it
out
and
practice.
Responsible
recycling
is
the
best
way
to
go.
Residents
get
a
guide
every
year
from
the
city.
It
should
have
hit
mailboxes
early
I
think
in
February,
and
this
is
what
it
looks
like
two
single-family
homes
and
it
goes
over
everything
that
you
can
put
in
each
of
the
carts
that
you
have
at
your
home.
And
so,
if
you
just
follow
these
guidelines,
then
there
should
be
no
problems
clean,
empty
and
dry
and
then.
A
B
That's
when
somebody
thinks
they
have
something
and
really
hopes
and
wishes
that
it's
recyclable
and
they
just
put
it
in
the
blue
bin
and
what
it
does
is
actually
causes
a
huge
amount
of
problems
at
the
recycling
facilities
and
some
items
that
I've
heard
that
have
come
across
those
those
belts
are
like
hoe,
Christmas
lights,
even
animal
carcasses,
which
is
disgusting,
there's
bowling
balls,
medical
syringes,
I
mean
just
a
million.
If
you
could
think
of
something,
that's
probably
come
across
the
bin
diapers
pet
waste.
It's
really
bad.
A
B
Should
avoid
do
well
the
main
things
that
you
definitely
can
recycle
like
we're
just
talking
about
mixed
paper,
we've
got
I
mean
this
is
just
an
example
of
all
the
junk
mail
I
needed
to
stop
my
junk
mail.
I
got
a
lot
yesterday,
Chinon
aluminum
cans,
we've
got
aluminum
can
clean
glass,
but
you,
if
you
get
something
like
this
and
you're
just
like,
don't
want
to
rinse
it
out,
throw
it
in
the
garbage
because
it
will
contaminate.
B
This
takes
it's
a
long
journey
for
this
to
make
it
to
the
end
market
and
it
would
be
completely
coated
and
it
would
be
a
hazardous
material
at
the
time
it
gets
to
man
market.
So
rinse,
your
glass
and
one
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
things
like
greasy
pizza
boxes,
napkins
that
you
you
know
have
like
food
on
them.
They
can
all
go
into
your
green
organics,
cart,
you
don't,
but
it
contaminates
the
blue
cart.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind.
B
Something
that
people
anyone
can
do
is
reduce
and
reuse
those
to
come.
First,
it's
reduce,
reuse,
recycle
and
then
there's
rethink,
but
so
use
a
reusable
coffee.
Mug
I
brought
an
example.
This
can
reduce
a
ton
of
waste.
If
you
drink
a
lot
of
coffee,
reusable
water
bottles,
you
can
use
reusable
sporks.
They
make
reusable
straws
now.
Reusable
bags
like
this
I
mean
there's
tons
of
ways
that
you
can
can
reduce
your
impact
and
something.
A
B
This
event
is
really
it's
really
exciting
that
we're
a
now
in
Washington
actually
recycle
latex
paint
we
haven't
ever
actually
been
able
to
do
that.
This
is
a
new
company
that
moved
to
Washington
called
Green
Sheen
that
takes
paint
old
paint.
Look,
you
know
remnants
of
paint
and
cans
and
mixes
them
by
color
and
then
resells.
They
probably
have
a
process.
Then
they
resell
it
to
the
public.
B
So
it's
full
loop
recycling
and
we
have
the
event
on
July
14th
at
Sammamish,
high
school
and
there's
like
small
fees
associated
per
the
size
of
your
container,
and
we
we
actually
have
fliers
about
the
event.
I'll
hold
one
up
real,
quick
there
at
all
the
paint's,
don't
local
paint
stores
and
then
I
think
we'll
have
a
close-up
of
it.
So
you
can
see
the
details.
Okay,.
