What cannot be recycled?
No Styrofoam
No Plastic bags
No Plastic plates, cups, knives, forks, spoons
No Paper plates, cups, napkins
How come these items do not get recycled? The
recycling is done at the Rockland county Hillburn recycling centre
which accepts a range of items depending upon what market exists. For
these particular classes of items listed here, there is not enough
commercial demand for the end products and so they do not get recycled.
The cost to haul stuff to more distant recycling centres
makes it impractical.
