Recycling Jackson received unfortunate news from Northwest Refuse: they're no longer accepting colored glass or plastics numbered #3-7.
"Due to circumstances beyond our control we are unable to locate a market and are therefore no longer able to accept the above items as recyclable materials," Northwest told us in a letter.
Now they're only accepting clear glass and plastics #1 and #2.
The recycled material market hasn't been kind to recyclers lately.
Northwest tells us that they're working on updating the drop-off site signage to reflect the changes. It was nice when we could say any type of plastic is acceptable for recycling; let's hope we get back to that soon.

Will the Brown St drop off take plastics #3-7?
No, unfortunately - only Emmons is taking all plastics.
I spoke with Northwest Refuse today and they said they are taking all plastics; 1-7.
