Where To Recycle
- Curbside Recycling: The most effective way to recycle PET #1 plastic (or any PET derivate) is through your curbside recycling program. Being one of the most commonly recycled resin types ensures your municipality recycling center will certainly accept it.
- Use Recycling Locators: Locate PET or PS (Styrofoam) specialized recycling programs near you using RecycleNation & Earth911 (US) or RecycleNow (UK).
