Recycle Right - Plastics

Recycle Right - Plastics
Recycle Right - Plastics

Recycling can be confusing, especially when it comes to plastics! Here’s how to recycle right:

  • Only recycle plastic tubs, jugs, bottles, and jars. Other plastic items should NOT be put in your cart.
  • Make sure items are clean and dry. Attached lids and labels are OK.
  • No pumps.
  • Never bag your recyclables!

Not sure about a specific item? Download the Orange County NC Recycles app by searching for "Orange County, NC Recycles" in the app store or use the A-Z guide on the website to search for what you can and cannot recycle.
