Curbside Recyclable
Curbside Recyclable
A container material accepted by most municipal recycling programs for pickup at residential curbs.
Curbside recyclable means a material is accepted by most municipal recycling programs and can be placed in residential recycling bins for collection. HDPE (#2 plastic) is one of the most curbside-recyclable materials in the world, with acceptance rates above 95% across US recycling programs. 5-gallon HDPE pails should be cleaned, lids removed, and placed in recycling bins. Recycled HDPE is processed into new products like plastic lumber, drainage pipe, recycling bins, and non-food-grade containers.
