Recycling Etc.
Your recycling questions answered!
Are the plastic caps for big bottles (e.g. liter soda bottles, lemonade bottles) recyclable?
Yes, they are recyclable as long as the cap is not black plastic. If it is not black, please leave the cap attached to the plastic container and toss it in the recycle bin. If the cap is black, please discard it in the trash since the machines at the Shoreway Environmental Center cannot identify black plastic.
Are "to go" coffee cups compostable? What about the plastic lids?
The cup and sleeve can go into the compost bin. If the lid is not black plastic, it can go into the recycling bin as long as it has the chasing arrows (recycling symbol) on it, which most lids do. If the lid is black, then it goes in the garbage bin.
Are disposable drink cups from fast food outlets (i.e. paper on the outside and wax coating on the inside) compostable or recyclable?
These drink cups are compostable.
