2- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 4, 1997 Call made by unidentified woman New materials can go in recycling box Effective Feb. 1, Durham Region residents are able to recycle two more materials in their curbside Blue Box: plastic containers coded with a "1," and alumi- num pie plates. Residents are asked to check the code on their plas- tic containers. The code is usually located on the bot- tom or sides of containers inside the recycling symbol, three arrows in the shape of a triangle. & If the code is a "1" then it is polyethylene terepha- late or PETE plastic. It can now be recycled in Dur- ham's curbside Blue Box program. Some examples are soft drink, vegetable oil, water, juice, mouth- wash, salad dressing and liquor containers. Aluminum pie plates are also being added to the program. Rinse and place loose in with the plastic containers, glass and metal cans on top of the news- papers and other household papers in your Blue Box. "Last year residents put out 23,475 tonnes of mate- rials for Blue Box recycling. That means all this ma- terial was diverted from landfill. Recycling really does work," says Peter Watson, Manager of Waste Reduction for Durham Region.
