Metals We Accept
Aluminum Cans
Aluminum cans are lightweight, easily recyclable metal containers commonly used for beverages. Their construction allows for efficient transportation and storage.
Glass
Glass is a recyclable material commonly found in bottles, windows, and screens. It’s sorted by color and type, then cleaned and melted to create new glass products. Glass must be separated from metal or plastic before recycling to avoid contamination.
Bi-metals
Bi-metals are materials made of two different metals fused together, often found in cans, coins, and specialty parts. They require separation during recycling, as each metal has different processing needs. Properly sorted bi-metals yield more usable material and higher recycling efficiency.
#1 PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
#1 PETE is a common plastic used in clear beverage bottles and food containers. It’s lightweight, durable, and widely recyclable. Once collected, it’s cleaned, shredded, and repurposed into fiber for clothing, packaging, and even more bottles, reducing reliance on virgin plastic.
#2 HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
#2 HDPE is a tough plastic used in milk jugs, detergent bottles, and pipe systems. It’s valued for being sturdy yet recyclable. After cleaning and sorting, it’s melted down and reused in products like plastic lumber, piping, and new containers.
#3 PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
#3 PVC is a strong plastic found in plumbing pipes, window frames, and vinyl siding. Although durable, it’s less commonly recycled due to the additives used in its production. Specialized facilities handle PVC to recover usable material and dispose of it responsibly.
#4 LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)
#4 LDPE is used in plastic bags, film wrap, and squeezable bottles. It’s flexible and resistant to moisture, making it ideal for packaging. While not always accepted in curbside recycling, it’s processed in select facilities and reused in plastic lumber and floor tiles.
#5 PP (Polypropylene)
#5 PP is found in yogurt containers, bottle caps, and some car parts. It’s lightweight, heat-resistant, and increasingly recyclable. After processing, it’s turned into new packaging, automotive parts, or textiles. It’s becoming more commonly accepted in recycling programs.
#6 PS (Polystyrene)
#6 PS is used in foam packaging, disposable plates, and cups. Commonly known as Styrofoam, it’s lightweight but not always accepted due to contamination and processing difficulties. However, some programs can compact and recycle it into insulation or molding products.
#7 Other Plastics
#7 plastics include all other types or multi-layer plastics not classified in #1–#6. This group includes items like polycarbonate and bioplastics. Recycling depends on local facilities and the specific material mix. These are often used in specialized applications and packaging.
WDS-BBP Pouches
WDS-BBP Pouches are flexible, multi-layered packaging materials used in food and drink packaging. They combine plastics and sometimes aluminum layers. Recycling these pouches requires specialized equipment to separate materials, but many programs now accept them due to growing demand for pouch recycling.
WDS-BBP Cartons
WDS-BBP Cartons are used for milk, juice, and soups and typically include paper, plastic, and aluminum layers. These multilayer cartons are recyclable in facilities equipped to process composite packaging. Once sorted, the fibers and other materials are extracted for reuse.
WDS-BBP Boxes
WDS-BBP Boxes are rigid packaging made with blended materials like paperboard lined with plastic or foil. Used for dry foods or specialty packaging, they are recyclable when clean and dry. Processing separates the paper and liner materials for reuse in new packaging products.
