HOLIDAY RECYCLING TIPS
Between Thanksgiving Day and the New Year’s Day holiday, Americans generate 25% more trash than at other times of the year. The City of Tucson’s Environmental Services Department (EGSD) reminds residents to buy less and reuse what they have this holiday season.
Recycle these holiday items:
-
Greeting cards and wrapping paper (without metallic, glitter, plastic, or other non-paper coatings)
-
Paperboard boxes that clothing or shoes might come in
-
Fiberboard packing materials (like egg cartons)
-
Cardboard
-
Plastic bottles, jugs, and food containers (make sure they are empty, clean, and dry)
-
Metal food and beverage containers (make sure they are empty, clean, and dry)
Do not recycle these holiday items:
-
Tissue paper
-
Ribbons, bows, or string
-
Tinsel or ornaments
-
Styrofoam
-
Paper towels, napkins, plates, and cups
-
Anything with food residue
-
Plastic bags
See more details HERE.
Once again, residents can recycle their Christmas trees through the City of Tucson’s TreeCycle Program. The program begins on Saturday, Dec. 26, 2020, and continues through Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021. TreeCycle sites are located throughout Tucson and Oro Valley. Find the list of locations at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/treecycle.
