5 R’s

5 R’s of Responsibility

As a consumer make informed choices about what you purchase. Refuse to purchase products that cannot be reused or readily recycled.

You can reduce your impact by reducing your consumption.

Avoid purchasing single-use items and instead, invest in reusable products. Most single-use items have reusable alternatives from drinking straws to sandwich bags.

Always use best recycling practices to maximize what can be turned into new products and minimize what must be processed as waste.

WD partners with Covanta, a local resource recovery facility, that turns what isn’t recyclable into energy to power the city of Philadelphia.

Commonly Asked Questions

Your Recycling Service & Best Practices

Plastic bags can easily get caught in the sorting machinery at the recycling facility causing stoppages and breakdowns. These delays and repairs are costly for the recycling facility and endanger the long-term sustainability of recycling.

  2. Stack boxes neatly.
  3. Secure with tape or twine.

Bundles should be 4′ long x 1′ thick or less.

Dirty containers can contaminate other clean recycling such as paper and negatively affect recycling purity rates.

This hurts the overall sustainability of recycling by burdening local sorting facility and lowering the value of recyclables on the market.

The short answer is #1 and #2 plastics are the most recyclable due to chemical properties and existing recycling infrastructure.
