Non-recyclable items in your blue bin could be costing the city extra.
The City of Tucson confirmed this amount, saying 29% of recycled material is considered contaminated.
"In a recent survey, Environmental and General Services found that approximately 90% of Tucsonans regularly set out their blue barrel for recycling. That is a great participation rate," the City shared online."Unfortunately, 30% of the material put in blue barrels is not recyclable."Republic Services, the company responsible for picking up the blue recycling barrels, cannot use any recycled materials if there is one single item contaminating the bin.
The company also charges the City when more than 15% of bins are contaminated, which happens regularly.Caleb Fernández is a digital content producer for KGUN 9. Born and raised in Southern California, Caleb has always had an affinity for creative collaborations.
