Protecting the North Shore: Proper Waste Disposal and Recycling
January 8, 2025 at 5:22 AM
Storm drains on the North Shore are directly linked to local waterways, making proper waste disposal critical to prevent water pollution and maintain air quality. Household items like paint, bleach, and soap should never be poured into drains, as this can harm fish-bearing streams and result in fines. Instead, residents can use nearby recycling centers for electronic recycling, metal recycling, and textile recycling. Options like cardboard recycling, car recycling, and e-waste recycling near me ensure proper waste management. Recycling locations also accept TVs and computers, reducing the impact of air pollution and supporting cleaner communities.
