Two new categories of plastic are now being accepted at Berkeley Recycling Drop-off.
This category is mainly non-redemption food packaging such as yogurt and dairy tubs, food take-out containers, clam shells and drink cups.
All containers and packaging must be empty and clean: no food residue, liquids or other contaminants. Soiled plastics with food should be washed or discarded in the garbage. No film or plastic bags.
Please put plastic bottles in #1 or #2 container bins.
This category includes clean 5-gallon buckets, plastic nursery pots, crates, trays, plastic furniture, large plastic containers. “Clean” means no significant metal or wood attachments, such as a plastic chair with metal frame. No rubber or vinyl hoses, PVC pipe, laminated plastic, toys, block styrofoam or packaging peanuts.
