Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I recycle paper plates, or other food contaminated paper?

www.wcnorthwest..com
Food stained paper should not be recycled because it can attract pests to your curb and the transfer stations. It also can contaminate the product at the paper mill. Even if you do not think that your paper product is food contaminated, our drivers are instructed not to accept these items so oftentimes they will be left.

Why can’t I recycle frozen food boxes?

Beaverton - Recycling & Garbage: FAQs - Recycling
Although it looks the same as other food packaging, the paper used for frozen food boxes is treated with substances to improve the “wet strength” of the paper. On the good side, it keeps the package from breaking apart and protects the food inside the package. The bad part of “wet strength” is that the wax-like substance hinders the paper from breaking down in the recycled paper pulping process, making the frozen food boxes not recyclable.

Why can’t I recycle frozen food boxes, detergent boxes, or juice concentrate cans?

www.wcnorthwest..com
These items have chemicals imbedded in the fibers of the product that are what keep the boxes from getting soggy when they are wet or frozen. In the remanufacturing process these items break down at a much slower rate than the rest of paper so we ask that you keep them out of your recycling. Items like cereal and cracker boxes that seem like they are made of the same material actually only have a coating on the outside of them so they can break down as easily as other paper.

What do I do if I think food is contaminated?

Surrey Alert Public Info -
First of all, DO NOT EAT IT. Seal the food in a plastic bag or container and contact your local Borough or District Council Environmental Health Department. They will investigate the incident and determine if there is a larger threat to members of the public. When they think it is necessary, food inspectors can take "enforcement action" to protect the public.

What will I be told to do if food is contaminated?

Surrey Alert Public Info -
In the past there have been several accidental and a few deliberate incidents causing food to become contaminated. If the food is found to be contaminated, and is likely to cause a risk to health, then you may be required to give a formal witness statement and give evidence in court. However, not all investigations lead to prosecution. Sometimes, the offender will receive a written warning instead.

Why can’t I print to the edge of the paper?

Meister Software - Faq's
How close you can print to the edge of any paper is dictated by your individual printer and printer drivers. Unless you use a printer that allows for "edge-to-edge" printing, your printer restricts all printing to within at least 1/4" from all edges of the paper. Add the amount of "space" surrounding any font you may be using to this 1/4", and the border width could be even more exaggerated.

If I can recycle a #1 soda bottle, why can’t I recycle everything with a #1?

Frequently asked questions
The number on the bottom identifies only the type of plastic resin—it tells you nothing about how the product was made. Different manufacturing processes are used to make plastic bottles, tubs, and soccer balls, and these manufacturing processes give the plastics different properties such as melting points. It is not simply the number that determines whether the plastic is recyclable, but rather your community guidelines.

Question six: I throw away loads of plastic – why can’t I recycle all of it?

Frequently asked questions
Answer: Plastic is a difficult material to recycle as there are many different types and needing different types of reprocessing techniques. The plastics need to be collected separately or sorted after collection, as the companies who recycle plastics will specify which type of plastic they will accept. We are constantly seeking to extend the range of materials that can be recycled.

Why can’t Thames Water recycle London leakage?

Thames Water Utilities - UTMRD Stage 1 Frequently Asked Ques...
In parts of London, for example in south-east London and parts of the upper River Lee, any leakage will continue to be recycled via groundwater in the same way as outside the capital. The layer of clay beneath central London, however, is likely to prevent leaked water from reaching the aquifers from which we pump water. It is instead likely to seep into the Thames gravels, where the existing water has already been polluted.

What ingredient in the pet food is contaminated?

Pet food recall - FAQ
The ingredients in US pet foods that were found to contain melamine and melamine-related compounds were originally identified as wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate. However, investigation and testing by the FDA has determined that both products were mislabeled when shipped to the US, and were actually wheat flour. This does not change the recalls themselves because it does not change the foods affected, but it provides additional information for the investigation.

Can I recycle all paper items from my kitchen?

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
No, the easiest way to remember which paper items are not accepted is to consider whether they have a wax coating (to allow the product box to withstand temperature changes) or a foil overlay (such as dishwasher detergent box). Those packaging items with either a wax coating or foil overlay are not accepted paper items. Dog and cat food bags are not accepted due to the plastic lining these packaging bags contain.

Why can't I recycle contaminated oil at the usual oil recycling sites?

Recycling Frequently Asked Questions - Washington State Depa...
Used oil that contains water, solvents, antifreeze, or any other liquid is unsuitable for normal recycling processes. Instead, it must be handled as a fully-regulated hazardous waste. If faced with the expense of hazardous waste management, the operators of oil recycling sites may choose to stop accepting oil altogether. You can reduce the chances of contamination by draining your crankcase oil into a container that you can cover and seal, and by recycling the oil soon after.

Is it true that you can’t get pregnant the first time you do it?

Frequently asked questions on contraception
You might get away with it, because the chance of getting pregnant from a single act of sex is around one in 20. But it really isn’t worth taking the risk. Not really. ‘Withdrawal', or coitus interruptus as it’s known, is not a good way to avoid pregnancy – partly because boys leak sperm before they come I really wouldn’t advise this, particularly if you don’t know much about what you’re doing.
