Plastics We Accept

We accept Type 1 and Type 2 plastics at all of the convenience centers listed below.

Type 1 Plastics Type 2 Plastics

Please do not include any other plastics in the recycling containers as it limits the County’s ability to effectively and efficiently get these products into a recycling program and creates an unnecessary cost burden to the citizens. Plastic grocery bags are not accepted in our recycling. If you collect your home recycling in plastic bags for transfer to our centers, please open the bag and empty the recyclables into the container and reuse the bag or dispose with the regular household trash.

Check out our comprehensive resource about what you can and can't leave at County convenience centers.
