Lynn Howse of Western Regional Waste Management says plastics are recyclable but pay attention to the recycling number stamp on the product that looks like a small triangle of three arrows, and numbers 1, 2 and 5 are accepted.
It’s fibre week for recycling in Corner Brook, which means paper and cardboard goes in the blue bag then onto the curb for collection. Lynn Howse of Western Regional Waste Management spoke about plastics and what is recyclable during last week’s “Trash Talk Thursday” on Bayfm with Lenny Benoit. She says plastics are recyclable but pay attention to the recycling number stamp on the product that looks like a small triangle of three arrows, and numbers 1, 2 and 5 are accepted.
Howse says there are many different types of yogurt containers and it can be confusing since they are made of different types of plastic, colors and even the product inside determines whether it can go in the blue bag.
Howse says coffee lids aren’t all made by the same material so look for that recycling symbol. Saran wrap, grocery bags, hazard plastics like what’s in toys, all go in the garbage.
