Plastic is the most difficult of all recycled materials. Successful plastic recycling depends ultimately on the participation of individuals who separate and keep the plastic clean for collection. Recycling plastic provides a valuable raw material for the manufacture of new plastic products such as trash and recycling bins, bottles, flowers pots, carpeting, shower curtains, fiber fill and more.
Help Our Earth and Conserve Plastics:
- Purchase new items in recyclable containers
- Refill containers with non-food products; reuse cups to store things
