Good to KnowMilk and Juice Cartons You can recycle milk and juice cartons. Please give them a quick rinse. Plastic spouts are fine, but toss the lid in the garbage. Aseptic packaging is NOT accepted. This means shelf-stable items like juice boxes, soy milk, soups and stocks.
Shredded Paper Put shredded paper in a paper bag and roll down the top before putting in your recycle cart.
Glass Glass is not collected curbside in Clallam County. Glass has very little market value and makes up a small part of the waste stream. Throw glass in the garbage or take it to drop-off sites for recycling. Find a site near you at clallam.net/go/recycling
SafetyNeedles, sharps, ammunition and other dangerous materials turn up at sorting facilities every day. These are all safety hazards for employees and should never be put in recycling carts.
ContaminationFood residue is a contaminant that ruins the recyclability of materials. If you can’t empty and rinse a container please don’t put it in your recycle cart.
What to do on Recycling Day• Cart should be at the curb by 6 a.m.• All items must fit in cart with the lid closed• Lid opening toward street —handle toward house• Remove empty cart from curb as soon as possible
PlasticsRecycle Plastics by ShapeNumbers on the bottom don’t tell you if an item is recyclable. That’s why we ask you to look at the shape. The types of plastic we collect have the best chance of being recycled into new products.We accept:
• Plastic bottles• Plastic jars, tubs and buckets
Plastic Items NOT Accepted:Lids Throw lids in the garbage. Plastic lids and caps are too small to be sorted properly and don’t get recycled.Bags and Wrap Grocery bags and plastic wrap get tangled in machinery at sorting facilities. Throw plastic wrap in the garbage. Reuse plastic bags or take back to participating grocery stores for recycling.
