Good to KnowMilk and Juice Cartons You can recycle milk and juice cartons. Please give them a quick rinse. Plastic spouts are fine, but toss the lid in the garbage. Aseptic packaging is NOT accepted. This means shelf-stable items like juice boxes, soy milk, soups and stocks.

Shredded Paper Put shredded paper in a paper bag and roll down the top before putting in your recycle cart.

Glass Glass is not collected curbside in Clallam County. Glass has very little market value and makes up a small part of the waste stream. Throw glass in the garbage or take it to drop-off sites for recycling. Find a site near you at clallam.net/go/recycling

SafetyNeedles, sharps, ammunition and other dangerous materials turn up at sorting facilities every day. These are all safety hazards for employees and should never be put in recycling carts.

ContaminationFood residue is a contaminant that ruins the recyclability of materials. If you can’t empty and rinse a container please don’t put it in your recycle cart.
