Residents in Boynton Beach can throw a few more items into their blue and yellow bins for the Solid Waste Authority to pick up.
In addition to the items residents are already placing in their recycle bins, a few items were added recently.
Linda Moreno, commercial recycling specialist with the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority, told the Boynton Beach unit they could accept more recycling because the county had built a bigger recycling facility.
Now, blue bins can have steel cans, and yellow bins can have beverage cartons, tissue boxes, dry food boxes, mail and office paper.
Even with the additions, the Solid Waste Authority still does not recycle plastic grocery bags or Styrofoam from either of the recycling containers.
