I just talked to a very nice gal named Karina at the Sonoma County Eco desk. I told her about our blog and she said if we had any more questions (I assured her we would) we could email her at refkarina@sonoma-county.org or call her directly at 565-3668. Here's what I learned...
* #2 and #4 bags can go to all grocery stores, along with any plastic that has that same feel. Not all plastic is labled, as you know.
* The packages that have cardboard on the back and then a hard plastic over the front- both the plastic and the cardboard can be recycled. I always wondered about that flimsy plastic, if it could be recycled. So that's good to know.
* Tin foil can be recycled. The shiny wrappers that cereal bars, (EnviroKid etc), comes in can't.
* Straws go in the trash
Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteDang, I was hoping straws were recyclable. Oops.
