Area recycling enthusiasts should be quite happy with this announcement by the Alabama Environmental Center. Beginning this past Monday they are now accepting all plastics, #1-7.
Previously the plastics had to have a screw-on lid, so you couldn’t take in frozen entree trays, most kitty litter bins and things like that because different processes were required to recycle them.
