Ridgewood Nj, recycling is essential for a sustainable community, but strong winds and heavy snow can cause bins to tip over, spilling materials into the streets. To prevent litter and keep recyclables secure, follow these important recycling reminders.
Tips for Secure Recycling in Bad Weather
✔️ Drop Off Instead – If strong winds or a snowstorm are expected, consider driving your recyclables to the local drop-off center.
✔️ Time It Right – Place recyclables curbside just before 6:00 AM on collection day to reduce the risk of them blowing away overnight.
✔️ Label Your Bins – Mark all recycling containers with your street address to make them easier to locate if displaced by wind or snowplows.
✔️ Stay Updated – Download the Recycle Coach app and enable push notifications for real-time updates on weather impacts, collection schedule changes, and reminders.
