Rogue Disposal & Recycling Red Lids are Now Greener
Rogue Disposal & Recycling is making curbside recycling significantly more effective by making it easier to recycle more. Several key recyclables (including glass and plastic tubs) which could not previously be placed in the commingled recycling "red lid" carts will be accepted from all of Rogue Disposal's recycling customers beginning February 1, 2012.At that time, plastic tubs (such as yogurt, butter and sour cream containers, etc.) as well as glass bottles and jars will be recycled via Rogue Disposal's red lid commingled recycling program. In addition to the newly approved items for the red lid, motor oil will now be accepted on every regularly scheduled recycling day. Previously, motor oil was only accepted once a month on a designated schedule, but now Rogue Disposal customers will be able to include their motor oil with their regular curbside recycling on every commingled pick-up day of the month. Simply place used motor oil in one gallon plastic containers (with the lids firmly closed) on the curb next to your commingled recycling red lid container. Current glass recycling customers may also choose to keep their small red glass recycling bins and place one-gallon plastic containers of motor oil inside of it on regular curbside recycling days. For more information, call Rogue Disposal & Recycling at (541) 541-779-4161 or visit their website at www.roguedisposal.com.
