By starting a Drive For 5 program or joining one in your community, you can help us keep recyclable food containers out of landfills.
It’s as easy as ordering takeout…
and as simple as loading your dishwasher. #5 plastic food containers are easily washed, so they can be reused again and again - and recycled at end of use.
