The facility will accept a wide range of materials including non-metallic/non-foil wrapping paper, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles and containers, and aluminum and steel cans. Magazines, catalogs, greeting cards, envelopes, and other paper items.
Robert Pickens, Vice President of Recycling, American Waste Control noted that the days after Christmas and New Year are historically the busiest times for any recycling facility. He urged residents across Tulsa to recycle post-holiday recyclables instead of tossing them into the trash.
