This video is a Public Service Announcement (PSA) from the City of Fall River about proper recycling practices. The PSA features a short skit between a character named Gabby and a talking recycling bin named Ronnie. Ronnie feels unwell because it has been filled with non-recyclable garbage. Gabby explains to Ronnie which items do not belong in a recycling bin, listing specific examples such as food, plastic bags, clothing, linens, electronics, wires, wood, metal, batteries, and hazardous materials. To help residents with their recycling questions, the PSA provides two resources: the city's website at fallriverma.gov/recycling and the phone number for Fall River's Community Maintenance, 508-324-2585. The goal of the announcement is to educate the public on how to keep the recycling stream clean and effective.

Good morning, Ronnie. Isn't it a beautiful day?
0:11I guess so.
0:12What's wrong? You don't look so good.
0:14Actually, I kind of feel like garbage.
0:16No offense.
0:18Do you think it's something you ate?
0:21Are you going to be okay?
0:26You look much better. I can see why you didn't feel well. You were full of garbage.
0:31I was?
0:32Yes. There are things that don't belong in a recycling bin, and you were full.
0:36How do I know what's supposed to go in me?
0:38I know it can be confusing, but some definite no- nos are food, plastic bags, clothing or linens, electronics, wires like phone chargers, wood, metal, batteries, and definitely no hazardous materials.
0:50That's a lot to remember. I hope I can keep all those things separated from my diet of recyclables. Sure, it's a lot, but to keep you healthy, you have to stay informed.
0:59Any other tips?
