What plastics are recyclable?

Here's an easy way to identify the proper plastics to put in your recycling bag: Check for the neck! A bottle or jar with an opening that is smaller than the base is usually acceptable for recycling.

(Milk jugs, water/soda bottles, laundry detergent, etc...)

Recycling Plastic Is Easy!

Here's How...

Step 1: Recycle all plastic bottles and

jars with an opening smaller

than the base.

Step 2: Remove and throw away

caps, lids, and spray pumps.

Step 3: Empty the contents.

Remove labels if possible.

A light rinse is sufficient.

Step 4: Crush plastic bottles by

CAREFULLY stepping on

them so that they take up

less room in your recycling

bag.

Step 5: Place uncapped and flattened

empty bottles into your

recycling bags along with

your other recyclables.

What Happens to the Recyclables?

The recyclables are shipped to the mill and then are made into many items like chairs, bottles, deck lumber, toys and much more.
