We get a lot of questions about the numbers on plastics. Our advice: Forget about the numbers, think about the shape. If it’s a hard plastic bottle, jar, jug, or tub, it can be recycled. But a few exceptions were added to the “acceptable” list since we started RSMA (aka, “recycling miracles”). Some irregularly-shaped but still acceptable items include: clear plastic cups, salad greens tubs, and deli/fruit containers.
