You Don’t Need to Flatten Milk Cartons Before Recycling, and Other Tips for Recycling Cartons
Most of us don’t think we need an article on how to properly dispose of milk or juice cartons, but just in case, here’s a quick rundown.
First, honor the desire to properly dispose of things . Cardboard Board, a group of industrial manufacturers such as TetraPak , Evergreen and SIG Combibloc , would like to inform you that while cardboard boxes are mostly made of paper, some have a thin layer of plastic or aluminum if cooled by cardboard boxes. This means that if your recycling program allows it, discarded cardboard boxes belong to other plastic, metal and glass containers.
You also don’t need to iron (unless you’re trying to save space), rinse, or remove the plastic cap from the carton before recycling. For more answers to your burning questions, follow the FAQ link below.
