How do I know which plastic type each bottle or container is?
On each plastic bottle or container (or its packaging) you will find a triangle with 3 arrows and a number in the middle. This number represents a different type of plastic.
At the moment, we can only recycle plastic types that have number 1, 2 and 5 (as seen above.)
If the bottle or container doesn’t have any number on it, you can still bring it to us, but please put it separately. We will try to find out which plastic type it is and see if we can recycle it.
How can I reduce my consumption of plastic?
We’ve published an article with some suggestions how you can easily swap plastics for reusable alternatives. Read the article “Ways to reduce your single-use plastics”.
What if these locations are too far for me?
If enough people come together to request a new recycling container in your neighbourhood, we will install it there. So gather your neighbours and local businesses, contact us, and we will work together with you to build new plastic drop-off locations.
If you are a business, you can sign up for our scheduled plastic pick-up services from your location. For more information, see our Plastic Pick-up Services.
Do you have a business?
