Valentine’s Day Candy Recycling
It’s almost Valentine’s Day! While you’re shopping for last minute candy, look for recyclable packaging to share the love with the Earth. Here’s what to look for:
Recycle:
– Treats in cardboard containers: Dots, large boxes of M&M’s, skittles, milk duds, and raisins
– Candy wrapped in tin foil (NOT thin metal lined plastic): Chocolates and chocolate bars
– Consider buying bulk candies and snack mixes from zero waste stores and grocery stores
Don’t Recycle:
– Thin plastic Wrappers (like KitKat, Crunch Bars, Twizzlers and Reese’s)
– Thin metal wrappers (like Lindt chocolate and chip bags)
– Thin Plastic bags used for bulk candy packaging
– Wax paper wrappers (like starbursts)
