Are those plastic bags from the grocery stores recyclable? I've assumed yes, but wanted to be sure.
thanks
Some plastic plates and cups have the recycling symbol on them. I would assume these would be okay, right?
Hi Leeann: yes, if they have a symbol on them, then you're good to go - at least here in Jackson. Plastic cutlery, however, is a no-no. Thanks!
Where can I take styrofoam?
Judith, we'll take it. Drop it off on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Just no packing peanuts. Thanks!
