Take that #greenwashing! Say so long to industry using the "recycling symbol" to greenwash non-recyclable products like certain plastics that can contaminate real recycling efforts. #SB343

PSA: Aerosol cans NEVER go in the recycling bin. They may explode under pressure, putting recycling and materials recovery facility (MRF) workers in danger. Take them to a household hazardous waste collection event. Find information for your city or town: https://t.co/DgunscPq4U
