♶ LDPE plastic #4 with water-based freezer gel
We can collect your clean, thawed gel packs and work with local partners to sanitize and reuse them.
If they’re leaking, or you prefer to recycle your gel packs at home, please drain them completely into the trash and drop the plastic casing in your recycling bin or at a flexible film recycling drop-off location.
♶ LDPE plastic #4 with post-industrial recycled material
Broken eggs are no yolk! These puffy liners minimize breakage in transit.
We can collect these on your next delivery day, but they’re also recyclable as polyethylene film and accepted at a flexible film recycling drop-off location.
Note: We can’t take back egg cartons, but they make great herb planters or drawer organizers.
