For years, my family only recycled aluminum drink cans, plastic bottles and newspapers. Early on those were the only items that could be recycled. Did you know that most towns and cities in the Triangle can recycle a lot more!? Listed below is what you can recycle at the curb.
Are you recycling all that you can?
