SUMMER TIME TIPS:
Nothing is easier to do this summer than recycling at the curb! Recycling saves energy,
natural resources and decreases pollution. Here’s some quick tips on how to stay cool this
summer by recycling. So pitch in and do your part to help Woonsocket WIPE OUT
WASTE!
Don’t Trash It! — When out at picnics and BBQ’s this summer, be sure to bring an
extra bag with you to collect recyclables! Place the bag next to your trash can and mark
it so that people know you are recycling all those cans & bottles. Throw the bag in the
back of your car and put it in your curbside recycling cart for collection.
Spread The Word! — Talk to your family about recycling at home. Make a fun game for
kids in the house to collect recyclables and save them to put in the carts.
Keep it Clean! — Rinse bottles, cans, and other materials before you put them in the
cart. This will also prevent any unwanted odors during summertime heat.
Reduce Waste! — Buy a smaller trash can to collect the trash from within your house.
You will soon see how quickly your recycle cart fills up! A lot of times we are throwing
out things that are actually recyclable and this is a quick way to make sure you are paying
attention!
When in Doubt, Call! — If you have any recycling questions call the Solid Waste
Division at 767-8880.
Sincerely,
Michael Debroisse
Superintendent of Solid Waste/Engineering
