Thursday, June 28, 2012 New plastic items accepted for recycling! Recycling in Montgomery County just got easier! Our recycling program now accepts #1 PET thermoform packaging. This is packaging made from plastic resin #1, also called "polyethylene terephthalate". To shape it, sheets of this resin are warmed and then pressed into molds. To recycle the new items, shake out any crumbs, give the items a quick rinse if needed, and add them to your blue recycling bin for collection. What is included in this program expansion? Clamshell containers! In addition, we now take trays, deli containers, lids, domes, and cups. Read more detail about the plastics our recycling program accepts. Download our plastics postcard (PDF, 1.1 MB) for handy reference. Here are examples of some of the new plastic items… Clamshell containers Bakery trays and cake domes Condiment cups Cups Deli trays and containers Fruit and vegetable containers and baskets Tubs and lids -- posted by Susanne Comment on this post CATEGORIES: News , Plastic recycling POSTED AT: 9:45:00 AM \|	Blog Home Handy links Categories Apartments/Condo Recycling (TRRAC) (10) Business recycling (SORRT) (8) Composting (14) Computers / Electronics (11) Hazardous Waste (20) Holidays (40) Mailbag (30) News (145) Notes from the field (18) Paper (18) Paper Shredding (4) Plastic (19) Plastic recycling (1) Recycling (85) Recycling Center (10) Reuse (4) Scrap Metal (9) Seen at the curb (4) The finer points (1) Transfer Station (70) Trash (15) Volunteers (19) Yard Trim (22) Archive November 2012 (1) October 2012 (2) July 2012 (2) June 2012 (2) March 2012 (1) February 2012 (2) January 2012 (1) December 2011 (2) November 2011 (1) October 2011 (4) September 2011 (1) August 2011 (1) June 2011 (2) May 2011 (1) April 2011 (4) March 2011 (3) February 2011 (2) January 2011 (5) December 2010 (2) November 2010 (4) October 2010 (1) September 2010 (1) August 2010 (2) July 2010 (2) June 2010 (3) May 2010 (6) April 2010 (1) March 2010 (1) February 2010 (12) January 2010 (4) December 2009 (9) November 2009 (6) October 2009 (2) September 2009 (3) August 2009 (4) July 2009 (4) June 2009 (6) May 2009 (7) April 2009 (4) March 2009 (9) February 2009 (3) January 2009 (8) December 2008 (2) November 2008 (6) October 2008 (3) September 2008 (3) August 2008 (6) July 2008 (8) June 2008 (2) May 2008 (6) April 2008 (9) March 2008 (10) February 2008 (5) January 2008 (6) December 2007 (11) November 2007 (14) October 2007 (8) September 2007 (4) August 2007 (10) July 2007 (6) June 2007 (8) May 2007 (1)
