Cartons Are Now Recyclable in SLO County!
Exciting news: We are now able to accept all kinds of food grade cartons in our recycling stream! Rinse them out, leave the lids attached, and add them to your blue bin - an easy way to keep another common household item out of the landfill. The cartons we collect will be processed here in California, and turned into building insulation material, similar to drywall. Unfortunately, only cartons similar to those pictured below are elgible for this program. Other similar items such as ice cream containers and paper cups use different materials in their insulation layers, so we are unable to accept them at this time.
