Instead of looking for the number of the plastic in the recycling loop to determine if your plastic container is recyclable, CHECK THE NECK of your plastic containers.

• We are able to take all Plastic JUGS and BOTTLES in your Blue Box, such as dishwasher bottles, shampoo, lotion, detergent, bleach, fabric softener bottles etc. (Check for a narrow neck). We are unable to collect and sort plastic tubs or caps. Please remove caps from your bottles and jugs and discard with your garbage

• Place plastic TUBS in your recycle box, such as margarine, yogurt & ice-cream containers, etc. The tub must be empty, rinsed and lids removed. Both the lid and container can be placed loose in your blue box.
• DO NOT put plastic toys or microwave meal trays in your blue box
• DO NOT put plant pots or planting trays in your blue box.
