Have you heard of 'Wishful Recycling'? It causes more harm than good!

Wishful recycling occurs when material is tossed in the recycling bin that you hope are recyclable or think should be. It is good intentioned, but it causes contamination and can result in recyclable material being sent to the landfill. Only place acceptable materials in your recycling container and ensure it is clean and loose. Clean recycling reduces contamination and loose material aids in sorting.
