In Coquitlam, we recycle plastic food and beverage containers with the codes 1,2,4 & 5. Look on the bottom of plastic containers as most of them have a number printed inside a triangle. See BC Recycling Hotline or the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) for options to recycling containers with other codes.

present, the NYC's recycling program accepts ONLY plastic bottles and jugs. CHECK THE NECK: if it's smaller than the body, put it in the recycling bin. If it is NOT a bottle or jug, put it in the regular garbage. Over 90% of all plastic bottles and jugs are made of #1 PET and #2 HDPE. Other plastic items, including tubs, trays, pots, toys, and bags, may be composed of any number of other resins (PS, LDPE, PVC, etc.) that are present in extremely low quantities in our waste stream.

The County collects only what we can recycle. Local plastics market demands include #1 and #2 bottles and jugs. It is important to realize that not all plastics are created equal. Each type (#1-#7) and each shape container has unique ingredients and properties. As a result, they must be processed separately during manufacturing. As recycling markets expand, the County will make every effort to increase the different commodities collected. See similar questions...

The name plastic is given to a number of different man-made materials. Plastics such as shampoo bottles and fizzy drink bottles are very different to plastic such as carrier bags. At the moment we are only able to recycle rigid plastics such as that found in plastic bottles but not soft or brittle plastics such as carrier bags, yoghurt pots or margarine tubs. We do hope to include these items in your kerbside collections in the future. See similar questions...

Plastic recycling is an important issue for many people, but for recycling to take place there needs to be a sustainable market for the end product, and reprocessing facilities within a sensible geographic range.

This makes it less economically and environmentally viable to recycle plastic in comparison with other materials. See similar questions...

The program recognizes a call [anything] and circle N/4. It tries the "anything" call first with just the centers, and with all 8 people if that fails, so it should work in either case. You can type the fraction as 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 2/4, or "full". with all calls of this sort, the "official" name of the call uses angle brackets to indicate something that gets filled in: <ANYTHING> and circle <N/4>. You can literally enter the call that way. See similar questions...

Each year as a nation we produce 27 million tonnes of waste and nearly 80% of this material ends up dumped in the ground. Hampshire is running out of landfill site. We have three state of the art incinerators which are among the cleanest in Europe, but these cannot cope with the amount of waste that is collected in Hampshire. We will have to start exporting our waste to other authorities, which will incur additional costs. See similar questions...
