NO organic material, like food, can be recycled in your recycling cart at home. Leftover or unused food in containers is contamination and impacts the recyclability of quality materials. Recycling haulers cannot process, ship, or sell materials that are covered in food. Peanut butter, leftover sauce, fruit juice, and other organics contaminate TONS of materials! Contaminated material goes to the landfill instead of being reused to make new materials. Empty and rinse containers before recycling, or put the container in the garbage.
