On August 31, Richland County's twitter feed had a link to this announcement:
Richland County Solid Waste and Recycling announced today that they are accepting new
recyclable items. The new list includes: yogurt and butter dishes, envelopes with plastic
windows, aluminum pie pans, orange juice and milk cartons, glass (bottle, jugs, jars), plastic
trays, paper cup holders, plastic baskets, frozen dinner trays, paper bags and pizza boxes.
Make sure that all items are rinsed and free of food. DO NOT include Styrofoam at all (trays,
plates, cups and egg cartons); plastic bags; phone books; or aluminum foil.
.
The announcement doesn't clarify whether those items are now accepted for curbside pickup, or only at the collection centers. The collection centers were already accepting glass, so I'd guess the announcement refers to curbside pickup. But I wouldn't bet on it.
I wonder what is meant by "paper cup holders" and "plastic baskets".
I wonder why they don't simply state that any plastic items marked with specific recycling numbers will be accepted.
