Give your natural holiday trees, wreaths and garlands a second life by recycling them. Like yard waste materials, holiday trees and greenery are banned from landfills in Missouri and are discouraged from being deposited into Kansas landfills. But, people who live in the Kansas City region have many options for recycling natural holiday trees and greenery. 🎄Contact your trash hauler to see if they provide curbside pickup. 🎄Find a drop-off location near you. Recyclespot compiled a list of places in Kansas and Missouri. Most services are free. Remember, all decorations, stands and plastic bags must be removed. Find a spot near you for pick up and drop off options to recycle your natural holiday trees and greenery: https://ow.ly/WQAp50QlXmM

Ready for an inside scoop on how TerraCycle recycles hard-to-recycle trash? When our TerraCyclers recycle with TerraCycle, their trash will always end up at one of our TerraCycle material recovery facilities (MRFs). Then, the magic happens… Once the trash is checked in, it’s sorted and cleaned before it is recycled into raw materials. Those raw materials are then used to make new items like benches, watering cans, shipping pallets, and more—giving hard-to-recycle trash a whole new life!

12 Days of Trash - The Last 4 Days Welcome back to the 12 Days of Trash: the final showdown between communication and contamination. Holiday season has long since wrapped up, but the waste (and joy!) it brings us still lingers. The extra 1 million tons of waste in landfills per week has stopped. What hasn't is the need for proper disposal of problematic items. We know some of your citizens recycled, re-used, and reduced fantastically this holiday season. We also know others did not - and not necessarily through fault of their own, but due to the lack of easily accessible information needed to make the proper choices. ☃️ Here's how to make next holiday season better: https://bit.ly/3GsiVOC #HolidayWaste #12DaysofTrash #Waste #Recycle

Did you know your trash and recycling cans need to have their lids fully closed for the city to ensure they get emptied? 🙉 While sometimes cans with slightly open lids still get serviced, there are instances where overflowing cans get skipped entirely. The reason is simple: during pick-up, if the lid isn’t shut, bags and trash can easily fly out, causing a big mess. To avoid this, make sure your cans aren’t overflowing and the lids are securely closed when you place them at the curb. Help keep the streets clean and ensure your trash gets collected! 💯 #canmonkey #cantocurb #closedlids
