How do I know if I can recyle it?

Question

I try to recycle as much as possible but there are items that I just don't know. For example, if you peal the plastic seal off the edge of a yogurt - can I recycle it? How would I know? There are lots of little items like that that I am always wondering if I could recycle? Should I just put it in the bin if I'm unsure?

Answer 1

Your local recycling company should have a website of what can and can not go into it.

I wouldn't put that in there b/c of the waxy feel thats on the paper. Like on bottles and plastic tubs that food come in. Here we can only put in numbers 1-7.  It'll be at the bottom of your bottle or tub in a triangle.
