Place snack and juice pouches, or squeezable containers for foods like applesauce or yogurt in the garbage, or use an alternative option.
Where Else Could It Go?
EMPTY and CLEAN flexible plastic food and juice pouches can be placed in an orange Hefty® ReNew® bag. Plastic lids and caps can stay on. FirstStar Recycling offers this special program to collect hard-to-recycle plastics in our community. To participate, you can purchase orange Hefty® ReNew® bags, which will be collected through your existing curbside and drop-off site services. When filled with accepted materials and tied shut, the bright orange Hefty® ReNew® bag is the ONLY bag that can be placed in a curbside recycling cart or drop-off site container.
