Recyclable
You can recycle plastic food storage containers using your curbside recycling program. They are made with LDPE (#4) or Polypropylene (#5) plastic, both completely recyclable. Prepare the plastic food container by cleaning it thoroughly and drying it. Finally, throw it in the recycling bin with the lid attached.
