“Some in the community have noticed that the PPE used to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is being littered within our community,” the city said in a Facebook post. “Thank you for your help to keep everyone safe during this pandemic by using PPE, but please dispose of the PPE appropriately.”
They shared a visual aid to help those that are uncertain about what can be recycled, or what can be trashed.
