16How to Recycle Squishy Water Bottles
Did you know…. Water bottles that can easily be
squished by one hand should NOT go inside your
recycling cart. That’s because these lightweight
bottles can easily get swept up with paper materials
at the recycling processing facility.
However, you can bring your empty squishy water
bottles to the Meridian Transfer Station for FREE —
it’s located at 2130 W. Franklin Road and is open
