4 <br /> <br />• Mail, office and school papers; <br />• Cereal, cracker, pasta, cake mix, shoe, gift, and electronics boxes; <br />• Boxes from toothpaste, medications and other toiletries; <br />• Magazines and catalogs; <br />• Aseptic and gable-topped containers; and <br />• Plastic bottles and containers, #1 – Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE), #2 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), #4 – Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and #5 – <br />Polypropylene (PP) plastic bottles, except those that previously contained hazardous <br />materials or motor oil. <br /> <br />The county may add materials to this list and require municipalities to begin collection within <br />one year of receiving notification from the county. Municipalities will notify the county if <br />materials not found on this list will be collected. <br /> <br />2. Education and Outreach <br /> <br />The partnership between the county and municipalities has been highly effective in <br />educating residents and motivating behavior change. In order to continue this partnership <br />and increase these efforts, program activities of municipalities must be coordinated with <br />county and regional efforts. Municipalities must adhere to the following requirements: <br /> <br />a. Use county terminology when describing recycling guidelines, including the <br />description of materials accepted and not accepted, preparation guidelines, and <br />promotional materials; <br /> <br />b. Use images provided by the county or the Solid Waste Management Coordinating <br />Board (SWMCB) if using images of recyclables; <br /> <br />c. Provide recycling information on the city’s website, including materials accepted and <br />not accepted, a recycling calendar, and links to county resources; <br /> <br />d. Mail a recycling guide to residents each year using a template developed jointly with <br />the county. The county will design and print the guide. If a municipality does not use <br />the template produced by the county, the municipality may develop its own guide at <br />the municipality’s expense, but it must be approved by the county. If the municipality <br />relies on the hauler to provide the recycling guide, this guide requires approval by <br />the county. <br /> <br />e. Complete two educational activities from a menu of options developed by the <br />county. <br /> <br />
