Only plastic bottles and jugs belong in your curbside recycling. We no longer look at the number to determine if a plastic is recyclable. You can recycle plastic items with a neck or an opening smaller than its body, such as food and beverage bottles or jugs, shampoo and soap bottles, laundry detergent and bleach bottles. Empty and rinse, replace the cap then put in your curbside recycling. Businesses can recycle plastics through specialized companies.
