👀We wanted to share this visual with residents of the Tri-County Recycling Partnership (Brown, Outagamie, & Winnebago Counties) to demonstrate the types of plastic containers we accept through curbside recycling. We like to simplify things by saying we accept household plastic bottles, jugs, and jars from your kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. A few exceptions to this include: - Rigid plastic cat litter buckets - Plastic oil containers - Any plastic containers smaller than 3 inches tall or wide 👋Always make sure to rinse out your plastic containers and replace any caps or lids.
