Random city over here, but I was finishing up lunch and thinking....
So I always check the bottom of plastics for their "number" to know if they're recyclable, and I always get angry when they're not (haha). So here are a couple things that you may not know are recyclable/not recyclable.
Yes!
Clear plastic containers that berries come in
Plastic trays to frozen meals
Souvenir beer cups from Toledo Walleye games (haha)
No ![]()
Yogurt cups (at least all of the ones I've had)
Solo cups (although they have come out with some that are recyclable, but they're more $$)
Please add your own if you know of any! ![]()

Re: Recycling
Not - Pizza Boxes, carton milk containers
Actually, it says right on our recycling container from the city that pizza boxes are.
And I do believe that my yogurt cups (yoplait) are.
Apparently, the plastic lids for the plates in the cafeteria at V's are (though it doesn't have a symbol, a coworker was very insistent on them being recycled).
I saw that, but I've also read that the grease from the boxes ruins the recycling process. So I usually tear off the greasy half and pitch it, then recycle the non-greasy half (if there is one, hah).
those make up half of the glasses in the cupboard!! glass glasses don't have very good luck in our household!
Yeah, that's about how it is for us too, hahaha. But I did notice they're recyclable in case any of them ever have to go.
Oh well, maybe I'll actually educate myself someday. At least I'm recycling! And we have 1 Walleye cup - it never gets used, it's in the basement.
I am the same way!!! I should educate myself better. oops!!
I do the same thing! If it has the symbol on it regardless of the number I do it. I figure they can sort through it and get rid of it.
