Cartons - milk carton, juice box, broth, soup
Disposal method: Recycle, Large recyclable item pick up, Drop-off
What to do:
Rinse and put in your recycling cart. Do not flatten.
More information:
Cartons are sorted as a 'container' at the recycling facility, not as paper. Keeping cartons three-dimensional (3-D) helps them get sorted properly at the recycling facility. They are made of high-grade paper and need to be processed (pulped) longer than other paper items to remove the plastic layers.
Cartons are not compostable.
Fun fact:
Rinsing containers helps keep your carts clean and free of critters. A simple rinse is enough. You do not need to wash the container with soap or water. As long as it feels like an empty container, it will get recycled.
