Recycling Plastic is Easy
Here's how to recycle plastic containers:
Empty all food and liquid from plastic containers and rinse them before recycling.
Remove plastic lids and caps and recycle them separately.
Double check that the container is a #1 through #7.
If you are able, crush plastic bottles so they take up less room in the recycling container.
At the Recycling Center, simply place plastic items with the rest of your single stream material.
