This will be a short blog. I wasn't surprised to see that only 68% of people who voted on my poll thought that milk cartons were recyclable. Not exactly a reliable statistic because only 16 people voted, but it goes to show that there is a need for some awareness about the fact that
milk cartons are recyclable. In fact, all containers used to hold milk or milk substitute beverages are recyclable.
In Kamloops, milk containers can be recycled at the following bottle depots (which by the way have amazing customer service as well):
- General Grants North Shore Bottle Depot*, 611 Fortune Drive
- Full Refund Bottle Depot, #115-805 Notre Dame Drive
- Lorne Street Bottle Depot*, 270 Halston Avenue

Can't we include milk cartons with our weekly recycling that is picked-up along with our garbage? Ever since that initiative started, I've been putting them in there.

ReplyDeleteYou can put plastic milk jugs into the your recycling container, but the cartons are made from a paper that is lined with plastic that is not recyclable through the curbside program.
