Growing Plastic Recycling Concerns...

Please be aware of the growing recycling (or lack thereof) concerns. We are hoping that there is a solution is in the works for plastic recycling, however we also want our recyclers to be ready if this ends up affecting our ability to accept the plastics that we are currently taking.

♲ REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE ♲

Just a reminder as to why we need to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! A sea of plastic bottles, cutlery and polystyrene plates has been found floating in the Caribbean.

A New Year’s resolution to all of us - cut down on plastic.
