- The city only takes hard plastics. So, even if the filling of the package you just received in the mail is made of #1 plastic, that is non recyclable. The same goes for chip bags, plastic wrapping, plastic produce bags, box wrappers, cling wrap, and any other soft plastics.
- Whole Foods takes hard plastics such as yogurt (cream cheese, butter, cottage cheese) containers. I believe that is the only place in Duval County that recycles #3 plastics.
- In St Johns County, households will now be able to recycle hard plastics #1 through #7.
- You can take all your household paper to the Paper Retriever bins (green/yellow bins), located all around the city. For locations and more info, go to: http://www.paperretriever.com/
