    We still are having to toss about bag of mostly food wrappers, meat particularly,  or other stuff that doesn't have a recycling number on it.  What can we do to avoid meat product trash like styrofoam?

    At Home Recycle Scrap Metal
    Were there any interesting items of scrap metal that you didn't realize could be recycled? What types of metal are you now recycling that you didn't before?

    I was surprised that aluminum (sp?) foil could not be recycled many years ago and it still is not through Hennepin County, or at least I was advised by them that it was not. We recycle everything we can that is metal or take some place that recycles a particular metal if we cannot put it in our recycle bin.
