Tips:
Wash out all containers before recycling.
Your recycling bin should have all dry material with no liquids or food waste present.
Break down your boxes in order to make room in the bin.
If you are wondering if a material is recyclable or not, it may be easier to look at what NOT to recycle.
When in doubt, leave it out!

My name is Ed Arsura, and I have lived in Roanoke County for 22 years. In 2011, I graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Biology, which sparked my interest in environmental issues.
After graduation I moved to Portland, Oregon where I learned firsthand what a huge role recycling plays in the everyday life of Portland residents. They have a great system. Recyclables are picked up weekly and no sorting is required. It is extremely simple. What caught my attention the most was that trash collections occurred only once every two weeks due to the amount of material that was recycled!
This is why I decided to start Star City Recycling upon my return to Roanoke; to make recycling simple like it should be.
So please join me in my effort to turn Roanoke County green, one Star City Recycling bin at a time!
