A label that makes sense

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is another in a series of recycling tips from the City of Covington's Neighborhood Services Department, Solid Waste & Recycling Division.)

COVINGTON, Ky. – You don’t have to “chase arrows” any longer. There is a new clear, consistent, and concise recycling label system that makes sense.

As seen at https://how2recycle.info/, the different parts of the How2Recycle label (from top to bottom):

  • Identify whether the product needs further action before it can be recycled.
  • Let you know whether the item can by recycled by traditional means or some other way.
  • Identify the “type” or composition of the material.
  • List the parts of the packaging that can be recycled.

And just like that, the confusion is cleared up.
