How do I recycle cartons?
Place empty rinsed cartons in your recycling bin. Please remove caps and straws.
What happens to the cartons I recycle?
As with all recyclables, they are first taken to a local material recycling facility to be sorted and baled. The bales
of cartons are then placed on a truck and transported to a paper mill. Here, fiber in the cartons is converted into pulp,
which in turn is made into recycled paper products and building materials.

Why should I recycle cartons?
Cartons are made from high-quality paper, making it a valuable recyclable commodity. This means that companies want
this material to make new products, and cartons can generate revenue for a recycling program, offsetting some of the
costs of collection.
