Plastic Bottles and Jugs
ONLY plastic BOTTLES and JUGS should be placed in recycling containers instead of previously accepted plastics labeled #1-#7. A 鈥渂ottle鈥� or 鈥渏ug鈥� is defined as a container with an opening or neck smaller than the body. Pro tip: keep caps on bottles and jugs.
All plastic OTHER THAN bottles and jugs should be placed in the trash including plastic bags, styrofoam, to go cups, and compostable plastic.
