Bag it or Maggots!
The City of Laredo wants to remind you to bag all your food waste and trash before throwing it inside the can.
Follow these simple tips to keep your Willie Bote in good condition.
- Bag all your trash especially food waste.
- Make sure to keep lid closed at all times.
-
If extra space is needed in green can make sure you are recycling correctly since 60% of garbage is recyclable.
Regularly wash your can with bleach or vinegar. Scrub the interior and exterior of the can with the vinegar.
- After scrubbing, rinse well, then allow can to dry in the sun before putting any new trash in. If your can is missing a lid or is broken please call 3-1-1 to have it fixed.
Items accepted in the recycling blue bin
Check the list before placing items into the bins.
The City of Laredo wants to thank you so much for your commitment to recycling correctly. We recently launched an advertising campaign to promote recycling and educate everyone on what goes into the Billie Blue recycling bin, such as paper, cardboard, metal cans, and plastic containers. In addition, this campaign explains what shouldn’t go into the recycling because it is garbage. Do not throw “tangler” items, such as hoses, ropes, or clothing, into the recycling bin. Do not recycle plastic wrap, plastic bags, bagged recyclables, hazardous materials, or “DIRTY” items, such as dirty diapers, food, or yard waste.
