Acceptable Plastics
Shrink-wrap and greenhouse film is the form
of polyethylene that is found most abundantly since these
materials are generally used to protect very large items such as boats,
RVs and large greenhouses. However, the following smaller items are also #2
and #4 plastic and are able to be recycled through this program:
- Plastic plant pots and trays (see photo, right)
- Bottles (including milk, water, juice, cosmetic, shampoo, dish and laundry detergent, etc.)
- Plastic trash, retail and grocery bags
- Some yogurt and margarine (or similar) tubs
- Dry Cleaning Plastic
- Bread Bags
- Paper towel/toilet paper/etc. packaging
- Buckets
- ANY plastic marked #2 or #4 - Any color, shape, size!
