No more microscopic decoding needed! If your plastics have a twist-off lid, you can recycle it in your Curb It! recycling cart.
![plastics]()
Common recyclable plastics include:
- Laundry detergent bottles
- Soda bottles
- Food jars (peanut butter, mayonnaise)
- Soap bottles
- Shampoo bottles
- Squeeze bottles (ketchup, mustard)
While we want your plastics, please hold the actual mayo, ketchup, and mustard. Food residue and recyclables don’t mix, so be sure to give your plastics a quick rinse before replacing the lid and tossing them in your cart.
What About...
Berry containers, toys, plastic bags, Tupperware, and Cool Whip containers? To those, we say "no thanks!"
The ONLY exception to the twist-off lids are margarine and yogurt tubs – without the lids please.
Why?
Following these guidelines keeps the quantities of the different types of plastics we receive in line with market demand, which helps ensure the success of the program for the long term. We appreciate your help!
