PlasticRecycling Tips
Prepare plastic containers for recycling by
ensuring first that they are either:
#1 (PETE): soda-pop bottles, cooking-oil bottles and
peanut-butter jars
#2 (HDPF): milk, water and juice bottles, bleach and
detergent bottles, margarine tubs and some grocery
sacks
#3 (PVC): window cleaner bottles, cooking-oil containers
and detergent powder containers
#4 (LDPE): food packaging, shrink-wrap, carryout bags
and heavy-duty bags
#5 (PP): butter and margarine tubs, yogurt containers,
screw-on caps and drinking straws
#6 (PS): often incorrectly referred to as Foam cups or
packing materials, a Dow Chemical brand trademark,
the category includes cutlery and plates, foam coffee
cups, egg cartons, meat trays and yogurt containers
#7 (Other): squeezable syrup and condiment bottles and
some microwave food trays
These identification codes are often on the bottom of the
plastic container encircled by three chasing arrows.
Remove plastic tops from the plastic containers being
recycled and rinse containers with water.
Crushing containers will help save space while storing
them.
