Can waxed milk cartons be recycled?
I don't think they can, but I want to make sure.
Re: Can waxed milk cartons be recycled?
They can here.
So can juice boxes, which I've been told on the internet are "unrecycleable".
Local programming controls what you can personally recycle.
This. I called our local recycling company and got a long list of things they can recycle. They can't recycle some common things, like plastic bags, so I save those up and take them to grocery store.
We can here as well, but it would be strange otherwise as Sweden has a huge paper industry and invented the Tetra Pak.
I'd check. Recycling is very area specific.
For example, we can recycle and extreme amount of things (styrofoam, soft plastics, batteries, light bulbs), but not envelopes as the glue makes the machines in our loal recycling place stick. And no advocado seeds or egg shells in our compost as it goes to make biogas and they take too long to break down. It depends on where the recycling goes and who handles it.
