What's New\:
The list of accepted plastics in curbside programs expanded in
Gresham\, Washington and Clackamas Counties. Portland is waiting until the new roll cart system is implemented and they will also be accepting the new plastics. So\, this May will be the last time that these plastics will be accepted in the Master Recycler Plastics Roundups.
Curbside Plastics (starting this spring with the new roll carts in Portland)\:
Please note the two major no-no's at the Master Recycler Roundups\: plastics with metal or electronics inside and plastics often labeled "\;biodegradable"\; or "\;compostable"\; "\;PLA"\;.
Examples we have seen at the Roundups are Fred Meyer organic herbs and spinach and Burgerville cups for cold drinks. PLA will damage plastics recycling machines and contaminate the plastic we are trying to recycle. So\, please don't take them to the Roundups.
Please SORT and RINSE plastics ahead of time into the following
categories\:
