Where can I dispose of polystyrene?
Styrofoam is a type of plastic that can and should be placed in the yellow recycling bin, examples of which include boxes for electrical appliances or electronic equipment, food packaging, even if dirty, and large packaging (which can be broken up and placed in the recycling bin or delivered to recycling centres). Nowadays, there are also several types of packaging that look like polystyrene (but are not), such as food trays, but the good news is that this packaging can also be placed in the yellow recycling bin. If you have a large amount of polystyrene to dispose of, you can take it to the recycling centre free of charge.
Where should I put the milk carton?
Milk cartons, as well as other drinks with the same type of packaging, should be placed in the yellow recycling bin.
How should packaging be placed in the Yellow Recycling Bin?
Remove the caps and flatten the packaging to reduce its volume. Replace the caps on plastic bottles and drink cartons to remove the air and prevent them from getting lost in the sorting process. If the packaging still contains product, simply drain it—there is no need to wash it.
