Is there any way I can recycle my daily contact lens packages?

Question

It seems like an awful waste to throw them away every morning.

Answer 1

is there a recycly symbol on them with a number?  the number tells what type of plastic it is and what "bin" it can go into to be recycled

Answer 2

As long as there's a recycling symbol on it, you can (if your local facility takes that # plastic, some only take specific types.)

If there isn't - contact the manufacturer!  Tell them you're concerned about the environment and was wondering whether the packages are recyclable.  If not, ask them to consider switching packaging to a type that is.

Good luck!

Answer 3

most uncommom plastic just needs to go to trash...in my town they just take milk and soda,,,and some others...# 2,3,...others   # 7  goes to trash
