NOW RECYCLING #1 AND #2 PLASTIC

#1 PLASTIC:

All Clear Plastic Bottles and Containers, which include soda bottles, drinking water bottles, etc.

#2 PLASTIC:

Milk containers, laundry detergent bottles, and containers of that kind, etc.

Most plastic containers will be marked on the bottom with a code symbol. This symbol is a triangle with a number inside.

Items not acceptable for recycling:

  • Bleach Containers
  • Oil Containers (motor and cooking)
  • Margarine, Yogurt Containers
  • Windshield Washer Bottles
  • Bottles which "mouth" is larger than its base
It is not necessary to separate your plastic by number. If you are not certain as to the acceptability of a plastic, the item can be included in your deposit. There is an attendant at the recycle center that will check and if necessary, dispose of the items not acceptable.
