Can I recycle the plastic trays that come with TV Dinners? The TV dinner trays say quot;1quot; surrounded by the recycle sign, meaning a type 1 plasticMost bottles are also type 1 plasticMy local recycling center only takes types 1+2I wish it took moreHowever, it says quot;plastic and glass bottles onlyquot;, in addition to the sign quot;only plastic types 1+2quot;I am confused as to the plastic trays of type 1, I haveCan I put them in there, without a problem, if they are the same kind of plastic, or is the shape important for the recycle process too? In addition, can I put paper bags in the newspaper recycle areaLastly, can I put aluminum foil in the aluminum can recycle? Thanks for your feedback!
I do not have an answer but wish to comment that East Northants household recycle scheme also stipulates plastic bottles onlyThis immediately excludes about 70% of my plastic yet they whinge that we do not recycle enough.
