Did you know the #recycling arrows with numbers in the middle on the bottom of a container indicate the type of plastic the container is. There are actually seven different types of plastic. Just because a container has the recycling symbol on it does not mean it is recyclable. In Middlesex County, we only recycle type 1 and 2 plastic; so, look for a recycling symbol with either a 1 or a 2 in it and then you know its recyclable.
