Limitations to the Recycling Program at Dunbar-Pulaski
We only have a recycling bin for paper products

Limitations to the Recycling Program at Dunbar-Pulaski
The next best strategy is to throw all litter into a garbage bin. Litter on the ground can eventually contaminate our groundwater supply.

Cardboard was found
The City of Gary recycles cardboard, but the colorful laminate around candy packaging can contaminate our groundwater if left on the soil.

Tree branches were found
Nature recycles vegetation through decomposition

Paper was found

…and of course Dunbar-Pulaski has a recycling bin for paper

The recycling bin gets heavy usage at Dunbar-Pulaski

However, we found discarded Styrofoam in a bin for paper

However, we found discarded Styrofoam in a bin for paper
Styrofoam should be discarded properly because if Styrofoam escapes into our atmosphere, then it helps destroy our ozone layer.
