Plastic bottles (water and soda packaging), tubs (coffee, cottage cheese, sauces, and dips), jugs (cleaning products, milk), and jars (peanut butter) are generally accepted in the recycling stream. Wipe out any product residue, and they are good to go.

Plastic bags, cups, plates, utensils, candy wrappers, snack bags, plastic films, and polystyrene containers are not accepted into the recycling cart, therefore, be placed in the trash. And remember, if you really want to make a positive impact and avoid contamination charges, do not bag recyclable items in plastic. Place them loose in your recycling container.
