Did you know that Richardson recycles many packaging/serving components of a Thanksgiving meal? As long as the items are empty, clean and dry, Richardson residents may recycle:
- Aluminum, steel and tin (such as aluminum cooking trays, soda cans and cans that once contained cranberry sauce and pumpkin filling)
- Cardboard (such as egg cartons and the boxes that house dried bread cubes for stuffing)
- Glass bottles and containers (that may have contained store-bought gravy, wine, olives, pickles, etc.)
- Wax-coated paper containers (such as those used for milk, cream and soups)
- The pots and pans in which you may have cooked the side dishes (yes, even the ones with handles)
Put empty, clean and dry recyclables in blue recycling bags and set near the trash on your designated recycling day—for more information and a complete list of what Richardson does and doesn’t recycle, visit Richardson recycling online. Note the Holiday recycling schedule listed above in the “News Section.”
