Recycling for beginners: 1. REduce 2. Reuse 3. Recycle
Use less of something you normally throw away or cannot reuse in any way (like tissues). Find new ways to use the things you already have, or give your things to someone who can use them (like old toys or clothes). All of your plastic, paper, metal, and aluminum are recyclable, so put them in your recycling bin. All the cans and bottles in your house can be recycled and made into new cans, bottles and even clothes!

Dandee Donuts It doesn’t take much for locals to make a right turn off Hollywood Boulevard and I-95 when the morning coffee is brewing at Dandee Donuts, a local spot that has been baking delicious specialty donuts since the 80s. Owners, as well as Hollywood residents, Frank and Laura Pucine started the business 30 years ago and have been proudly open seven days a week since. This shop always seems to have a fast-moving line, guided with an ultra-friendly staff behind the counter. It’s never stressful waiting for a morning pick-me-up! This donut heaven is home to 70-85 varieties
of donuts per day. Baking starts nightly at 11pm. While the rest of Hollywood is tucked in their beds, this neighborhood is sprinkled with the sweet scent of warm icing and vanilla sugar. By 2am the decorating process begins, led by Astrid and a crew of creative bakers as sweet as their donuts taste. In addition, they serve pizza and a full breakfast menu, where clients can enjoy anything from pancakes to steak n’ eggs! Frank, an owner, says his favorite pick is a close tie between the sour cream glaze and the Dandee Donut (a glazed donut rolled in a crumb cake topping).
Natasha Granado, Recycling Perks
This sweet shop commits to hand cut, hand crafted, artisan donuts, brought to creation with no machines, and avoids as many artificial items as possible. They are also working on a gluten free donut! Use your Recycling Perks at Dandee Donuts, the longest running independent donut shop in the South East. Find them tucked in the corner of Hollywood Blvd just off of I-95 at 102 N 28th Ave, Hollywood, FL 33020. It is well worth every last carbohydrate. 7

Understand recycling contamination WORDS: Suzie Vance, Recycling Perks
Q: What is recycling contamination? A: Recycling contamination is ANYTHING that cannot be recycled through your local hauler. Every community is different, sometimes with multiple haulers in a single community. What constitutes contamination is dependent upon what can be recycled locally. If your local hauler accepts only paper, plastic, and metal for recycling and you put your glass bottles in the recycling bin, you’ve just contaminated the entire bin—and possibly the entire truckload of recycling!
Q: Are there some things that are always considered contamination? A: YES! Food waste is always a recycling contaminant--unless it is being collected for composting. Some other common contaminants are scrap metal, ceramics (like dishes), light bulbs, liquids in containers, hazardous waste (like household cleaners, paint, and motor oil), chemicals, batteries, plastic bags (loose or containing other items), electronics, and Styrofoam.
Q: Are there any recyclables that can also be considered contamination? A: Yes. Depending on your hauler, some types of plastics are considered contaminants. A very common plastic that cannot be recycled curbside is plastic bags. They can shut down the entire operation if they get stuck in the machinery; that’s why you will need to bring those to your local city-specific collection facility for recycling. Use your own bags for shopping. Another common item that most people think is recyclable is the paper coffee cup (for example: the Starbucks cup). None of the Recycling Perks cities can recycle paper coffee cups because they have a thin polyethylene plastic coating that is difficult to recycle.
10
Q: We use a lot of paper napkins, plates, cups, etc., that don’t appear to be soiled. Can these be recycled? A: These items should be thrown into the garbage. Once you’ve used them, they’re contaminated. Even a small amount of oil or food on them makes them unrecyclable. Also, many paper products (like plates and cups) have a thin plastic lining that gives them strength or prevents leaking. This plastic lining is considered a contaminant because it is NOT what is being recycled - PAPER.
Q: My recycling is about 95% clean and uncontaminated. That’s good, right? A: It’s good, but can you do better? We all do our best to recycle properly, but don’t always take the time to do it right. We forget to rinse out a plastic bottle before putting it in the recycling bin or decide that a pizza box looks clean enough to recycle, or think that something that is made of two different recyclable materials (like paper and plastic) is recyclable. We have good intentions, but even a small amount of contamination is enough to disrupt the entire recycling process. And, the effects are cumulative. If everyone makes sure that 95% of their recycling is uncontaminated, that means that 5% IS contaminated. That may not seem like a lot, but the contamination weakens the finished product and ends up back in our homes.
Q: What can I do to reduce recycling contamination? A: Educate yourself. Call your local recycling hauler or city recycling provider and ask them what you can and cannot recycle locally, i.e., which plastics (by number), paper products, types/colors of glass, types of metals, etc. Ask about drop off locations for items that can’t be recycled curbside. Many cities offer drop off locations for paper, plastic, metal, glass, electronics, and hazardous waste. Visit your city’s/hauler’s website to get additional information. And, read Recycling Perks blogs and follow us on Facebook to continue your recycling education. Before long you’ll be a recycling expert, and have a 0% recycling contamination rate! 11
