On Friday, they will give a demonstration in the Colony Cove neighborhood of how the program will work.
The recycling campaign, which is being funded by a more than $500,000 grant, could penalize you for recycling incorrectly. There will be designated people inspecting recycling bins as a part of the program to make sure the correct items are being put in the bins. If they find that there are items that should not be in there, they will post a sticker or note that explains what is wrong and warns the recycler that they need to correct it moving forward.
There will be four warnings issued, and if the problem is not fixed, the person will have their bin taken away.City Councilman Ron Salem played an integral role in getting the initiative started. According to the city of Jacksonville, 20% of materials put in recycling bins end up in the landfill.“Even the most ambitious and well-meaning recycler can unintentionally put something that shouldn’t be placed in the cart, Curry said. “Unfortunately, this costs taxpayer money, can damage our recycling facilities, and requires additional sorting and dumping of materials that cannot be recycled.”
