Facebook: Paper and cardboard are recyclable, but not in every instance. If your paper plate or cardboard food container comes in contact with greasy food (or if the container is coated with a wax or plastic), it’s non-recyclable. So, if your next meal is on a paper plate or in a cardboard take out container, put it in the trash. Remember to always put your empty bottled water containers and jugs in the recycling bin. #IfInDoubtThrowItOut #EndContamination www.putitinthebin.org

Twitter: Once your paper plate or cardboard food container touches greasy food, it’s non-recyclable and belongs in the trash. Cardboard take-out boxes that are coated in wax or plastic also go in the trash. #EndContamination #IfInDoubtThrowItOut www.putitinthebin.org
