Recycle Right: Refrigerator cartons and Tetra-Paks

How do we dispose of Tetra-Paks and refrigerator cartons?  Garbage or Recycling Bin?

Tetra Paks and  refrigerator cartons often are used to sell all types of milk, juice, soup, tomato sauce, dairy products, etc.

 Place both in the recycling. Tetra-Paks are identifiable by the smooth and glossy plastic carton and shiny metallic lining on the inside. When recycling, Tetra-Paks should not be flattened, as this can lead to them being misidentified and improperly sorted by the sorting machinery at the processing facilities. Refrigerator cartons (such as milk and juice) contain more paper than a Tetra Pak carton. Empty the cartons of any liquid or residue and, if possible, remove any plastic or metal caps or spouts before recycling. Remember to recycle right!
