 Hello everyone, and welcome to the Before Report. So this week I'm at the Solid Waste Management Division with Kim Moat, and luckily, because oh my gosh, I've been collecting all of these bottle caps and I have no idea what to do with them. So, Kim, please tell us what is new with recycling in Fort Worth. Okay. Well, recently we've added three items, and we've done that by talking with our recycle processing service provider, and they agreed that these are items that we could do because the industry standards have improved so much that these items are not acceptable, and curbside recycle processing. And the items we've added are one thing that people have been asking for a long time is pizza boxes. Yes. The reason we didn't do it was because of the grease in the food, but one thing we do ask is that people don't leave food in the recycle box. Gross. So when we, they do it, throw the food away, and then recycle the box. The cardboard is very welcome. The other things we want are aseptic boxes. Now, this is kind of the cardboard boxes that either have drinks, or in this case, some kind of broth or soup, but they come in different kinds of materials come in there. And there's a valuable paper that's in here, but it has to go through a special process, and that process has been developed now so that these are acceptable in a recycle program. The other thing is pots and pans, and we ask that specifically if they're serviceable like this one is, don't throw it away, don't put it in the recycle box, donate it. And donate it to a charity. But if it's unusable and you don't want it anymore, you can recycle it in a recycling program now. Cool. That's all very exciting, especially the pizza boxes. Yes. I have them collected at my house. Oh, you do. How many do you have? At least four. At least four. It's a thing. Hopefully you didn't save the food, too. Oh, no, that's gross. So about these bottle caps, recyclable? Well, the metal is recyclable. Because they're so small, they fall through the equipment and clog up the work. So no. No. Okay, there you have it. Cool.
