| Master Recyclers Plastic Roundup | |||||||||||||||
| By recycling our plastic, we can dramatically reduce the amount of waste we generate, and help give it new life. Recycling plastic helps save energy, reduce green house gas, and conserve our natural resources. *The Master Recyclers Program regrets to announce that the scheduling of a future Master Recycler Plastics Roundup is placed on hold. Markets in the niche plastics recycled at the Master Recycler Plastics Roundups have been affected by recent economic fluctuations. There is the hope that this is a short term problem. Recycling is still the right thing to do! If you have the space, please store your miscellaneous plastic as though we were going to have a roundup. You may recycle plastics numbered 1 through 7 (styrofoam #6 not included), plastic bags, CDs, DVDs, and jewel cases at the sites listed below: Click here for a definition of numbered plastics.
