Recycling Bins & Chutes
Both the lid (HDPE) and the base (PET) are recyclable but as they are different materials, it is best to separate them for recycling (ie remove the lid).
Rinse before putting in a recycling bin. Never put anything with food waste into the recycling system.
Blue Bins
Alternative
Trash
If the container is dirty and cannot be cleaned, throw it out. Never put anything with food waste in the recycling system.
