A greener 2022

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is another in a series of recycling tips from the City of Covington's Neighborhood Services Department, Solid Waste & Recycling Division.)

COVINGTON, Ky. – New year, new me. Right?

Even if your commitment to those diet and exercise resolutions starts to ebb, we have a vow that’s easy to fall in line with: Commit to less waste in 2022!

Here are reminders from last year that will help you not only recycle more but also recycle better:

  • Don’t “wish-cycle” single-use beverage cups, including, plastic, and Styrofoam cups, or plastic film packaging.
  • Keep reusable mugs and shopping bags handy.
  • Consider packaging recyclability before making a purchase.
  • Tubs can now be recycled curbside. So can clean paper bags, cardboard sleeves, and juice box cartons without the straws and caps.

For a complete list on what to recycle curbside and what to toss, see HERE.
