Effective Thursday, Aug. 1, Beaufort County Solid Waste and Recycling will commence a new recycling contract with i2recycle. This change continues Beaufort County’s efforts of improving efficiency and environmental impact through responsible recycling. As part of this transition, there are some important changes to note when recycling:
- No Caps or Lids: Remove all caps and lids from both plastic and glass bottles when recycling.
- Size Restrictions: Plastic and glass items should be larger than a cup, but smaller than a gallon.
- No Bagging: Do not place recyclables in paper or plastic bags. Place items loosely in bins.
- Paper Size Requirement: Recyclable paper must be larger than a standard envelope.
- No Crushing: Bottles and cans should remain uncrushed.
Please note that some of these new guidelines may be different than what has been done previously.
