Beltrami County has two ways to recycle your main consumer products: Fibers and Containers.Containers are described as: bottles (glass, plastics, aluminum and tin), plastics, only with a neck and [1] or [2] labeled on the bottom. To recycle they ask that all containers be rinsed and clear of all product residues. Lids must also be removed.
Examples of [1]
Bottles: water, juice, milk, medicine containers, household cleaner bottles, ice cream buckets. Once it has been processed by a recycling facility, [1] PETE can become fiberfill for winter coats, sleeping bags and life jackets. It can also be used to make bean bags, rope, car bumpers, tennis ball felt, combs, cassette tapes, sails for boats, furniture and, of course, other plastic bottles.
Examples of [2]
Containers: detergents, bleach and household cleaner bottles, milk jugs, car fluid bottles, watering cans, and heavier plastics. Plastic labeled with the number [2] is often recycled into toys, piping, plastic lumber and rope.
Examples of Fibers:
Newspapers, magazines, corrugated cardboard, paper bags, books (without bindings), pamphlets, cereal boxes (etc.), phone books, mixed paper. Even paper with staples and plastic 'windows' can be recycled in the Fiber bin. Do not put laminated paper or laminated layered products in Fiber recycling.

Yay for recycling programs! When I look at all that can be recycled I realize how much waste there was before I didn't. So happy to do it now. :)
Exactly, so much is wasted! We now have more in our recycling containers and compost bucket at home than we do in our household garbage can, it's a great feeling!
