The majority of daily plastic waste falls under #1 and #2. Some examples of #1 and #2 plastics are water bottles, milk jugs, detergent bottles, and peanut butter jars. In addition to #1 and #2 plastics, Swedesboro single stream collection – all recyclables in one container – includes aluminum, glass, paper, and cardboard. These are the ONLY items that should be in your blue recycling cart.

Keep it simple. Rinse out containers before recycling them. Reduce and reuse first.
