44% of people are putting the pump dispenser tops of hand soap bottles in the recycling — but these should be removed from the bottle first.
Metal springs found in pumps are detrimental to the plastic recycling stream.
Chips bags, frozen food bags, plastic toys, toothpaste tubes, wrapping paper, tissues, and plastic cutlery, and packing peanuts are NOT recyclable.
Any recycling that’s thrown out in a plastic bag will go straight to a landfill, so it’s really just a waste of your time. Do it right. Do NOT put your recyclable items in a plastic bag.
