♻️ Now Accepting #2 Plastics for Recycling! ♻️
The Weare Transfer Station is currently accepting #2 plastics (HDPE) for recycling.
How do you know if it’s a #2 plastic?
Look on the bottom of the container for the recycling symbol (♻️) with the number 2 inside it. If it has a different number, please place it in the regular trash for now.
Common #2 plastic items include:
🥛 Milk jugs
🧴 Laundry detergent bottles
🧼 Shampoo and conditioner bottles
🧽 Dish soap bottles
🧴 Fabric softener bottles
Please remember:
✅ Rinse containers so they’re clean.
✅ Remove any remaining product.
❌ No #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, or #7 plastics at this time.
Every item we can divert from the regular trash helps reduce the amount of waste the Town has to pay to dispose of. Recycling keeps valuable materials in use and helps save taxpayer dollars. Every milk jug, detergent bottle, and shampoo bottle recycled instead of thrown away makes a difference. As markets improve and our program grows, we hope to expand the types of plastics we can accept
Thank you for helping make Weare a cleaner, more sustainable community. Together, we can continue to improve our recycling program and keep disposal costs down for everyone! ♻️💚
