Not Recyclable

The plastics industry does not make it easy when it comes to recycle....and what
not to! But.....
Plastic Bags - No (especially) white, black or ones sold as recyclable
Plastic Wrap or Film of any type is not recyclable...including wrapping from water bottles
Plastic Food Packaging - frozen food boxes, ice cream, milk & beverage
cartons, foam hot & cold cups
These are highlights to help you in the daily confusion around doing the right thing. The best advice is “if in doubt, throw it out”.
Braintree’s guidelines follow the State’s mandated requirements from the Department of Environmental Protection. For more information, please visit our website www.braintree.gov/recycling or call (781) 794-8088.
Thank you for recycling right!
