Hi Neighbors,

In the recent Kenny newsletter article “The Do’s of Recycling”, we noted that paper egg cartons are not recyclable. This is true- they cannot be recycled in the regular blue recycling bins because their fiber has been processed too many times. However, we should have noted that they CAN be composted in your green organics bin if you participate in the city organics program.

Sorry for any confusion.
