I appreciate the timely information and timely reminder - that doesn’t inundate me with constant notifications. The only thing I wish, is that the site would display what can and cannot recycled. Ex: baby formula cans. I thought the lids could be recycled b/c of the “5” on the lid, and thought the “can” container that holds the formula couldn’t be recycled. Nope - opposite! I called into Waste Connects and someone informed me: 1) Numbers don’t matter (completely). 2) Because the lids pop on and off the can - they can foul up the separating machines at the recycling center. So even though they show a “5” on the lid, these are Not to be recycled unless the lid screws on and off (rather than popping on and off) and are about the size of an adult fist. 3) The can itself, holding the formula IS recyclable, even though I couldn’t find a number and part was metal and part plastic.
