At Kimble, we’re committed to helping you become a better recycler! Every week, we share #RecyclingTipTuesday posts on our Facebook page to make recycling easier, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly.

Here are some recent recycling tips to help you Recycle Right with Kimble:

Proper Disposal of Electronic Waste

Did you know Kimble cannot recycle or dispose of electronic devices such as phones, tablets, or laptops? These items, commonly referred to as e-waste, require special handling to prevent environmental harm.

Why is e-waste hazardous?
Electronics contain lead and mercury, which can contaminate soil and water if disposed of incorrectly. Improper disposal contributes to the growing issue of electronic pollution.

How to Dispose of Electronic Waste?
Contact your local solid waste district for proper e-waste disposal options. Many communities offer drop-off locations or recycling events for safe disposal!

All About Recyclable Paper

Wondering what types of paper are recyclable with Kimble? We accept a wide variety of paper products, including:

1. Mail
2. Newspapers
3. Copy paper
4. Magazines
5. Even some Valentine’s Day cards!

Ensure your paper is clean, dry, and free from food or waste stains before recycling. Avoid glossy or foil-coated paper, as these materials cannot be recycled. For a full list of recyclable materials, check out our Recycling Guide.

Say No to Plastic Utensils

Unfortunately, plastic utensils cannot be recycled at Kimble. These items are often made from mixed materials that don’t fit into standard recycling processes.

How to reduce plastic waste: A sustainable alternative is to switch to compostable utensils! They’re a great eco-friendly option for meals on the go and help reduce plastic waste.
