County Now Recycles More Plastics

Now you can start recycling your clam shell containers and packaging for fruits, vetetables, cakes and pies. Further enhancing its reputation as a leader in recycling, the County is now accepting PET thermofoam plastics in the blue bins.

PET plastic is used to make items such as cups and rigid packaging. It is a transparent, lightweight, strong, safe, shatterproof and recyclable packaging material suitable for many products. PET is commonly used to package fresh fruits and vegetables, bakery items, prepared foods and salads, and deli items. PET containers are easily identified by the #1 code on or near the bottom.
