Please rinse and sort your plastics into the following categories before the event:
- Plastic bags
- Plant containers and trays (please knock dirt out ahead of time)
- Please rinse and separate plastics with numbers by each number separately (no styrofoam food trays even if they have a number).
- Miscellaneous plastics without numbers (Bottle caps, drink lids, DVD’s, CD’s, CD cases, straws, lawn/patio furniture, kids\’ toys (think slides!), pet igloos, laundry baskets, kiddy pools, & more. . .bring it, we’ll try to take it)
- Reusable Plastic Items—We especially love buckets! Be sure and drop by this section to see if you might find a useful item you would like to bring home.
 Things we cannot accept:
No Styrofoam block, Styrofoam peanuts, Stryofoam food trays or Styrofoam egg cartons even if they have a number ; no “biodegradable” plastic or plastic that says PLA 7 on the bottom; no milk jugs; no plastic with metal inside; no VHS or cassette tapes; no PVC pipe; no small toys; no food-contaminated or dirty plastic; no plastic that contained motor oil, herbicides or pesticides (a thin layer of dried paint is okay)
