John Roosa, Administrator, Boone County Landfill and Recycling talks about recycling during the holidays. A perfect example is Christmas wrap. He said most Christmas wrap may not be recyclable due to components that will contaminate recycling. He says the shiny parts usually have a metal component, or glitter on the wrapping paper. He said they are planning to Tree-cycle real Christmas trees. But they need to be clean and free of tinsel and ornaments. More details are expected later this month.
