Additional Plastics Now Recycled

12/23/2014
In the past only plastic containers labeled #1 (PET) or #2 (HDPE) could be recycled.

Kimble is now accepting "rigid" plastic containers labeled #3 - #7 in addition to the #1 and #2 plastics.

Most plastic products are labeled on the bottom with a recycling symbol consisting of arrows that cycle clockwise to form a rounded triangle and enclosing the number 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7.

Examples of plastic containers that can now be recycled are salad dressing bottles, peanut butter and jam jars, juice bottles, squeezable bottles (ketchup and mustard) clam shell food containers, microwavable food containers, margarine tubs, baby milk bottles, shampoo bottles, cooking oil bottles, apple sauce cups, and cool whip containers.

Plastic items NOT ACCEPTABLE include plastic bags, shrink wrap, Styrofoam, toys, motor oil and antifreeze containers.
