McKenna Tupa’i, Wasatch Front sustainability coordinator, said one of the most common mistakes SLC residents make is with plastic film. “If it’s plastic and you can crumple it in your hand, then it’ll go in the garbage can, unfortunately,” Tupa’i said.
Mark Snedecor talks about recycling in Salt Lake City on Friday, May 7, 2021. The Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District services 86,000 homes across the Salt Lake Valley and beyond, while the Salt Lake City sustainability department handles its urban area.When Salt Lake City resident Wilma Odell watches people at City Creek Center toss plates of food into the recycling bins, she cringes.
“Obviously, we are always in a state of concern about water,” Odell said. “How do the recyclers feel about washing?” The basics — aluminum, aerosol cans, cardboard, most plastics and anything made out of paper — are fine to recycle at the Salt Lake facility, she said. However, the most common mistake she sees is plastic film going in the blue bins.
When glass collected through standard recycling shatters, it can be abrasive to the trucks, machines and on-site workers. That's one reason why glass is recycled separately in Salt Lake City.
