Rumpke and Hefty offer new program to help recycle difficult plastics | WKRC
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Rumpke is teaming up with Hefty to make it easier to recycle some plastics.
"Hefty Renew" is a program that allows people to recycle difficult plastic items.
It'll be offered in Hamilton, Butler, Clermont, and Warren Counties in Ohio; Dearborn County in Indiana; and Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties in Kentucky.
You can buy orange bags at Kroger and place the hard-to-recycle items in it.
Then, put it in your Rumpke recycling bin, or a public dropbox that collects recycling.
Those bags will be sorted and sent to special recyclers.
The program begins in November.

Renewable energy sources — once the fuel of the future, then practical in specific, narrow applications — are increasingly economic mainstream sources of power generation. Hydropower was long the mainstay of U.S. renewable electricity generation, although wind power surpassed hydro for the first time in 2019, and solar continues its rapid growth. The continued growth of wind and solar, with their fluctuations, is tied in part to improvements in storage technology: batteries.
