Like many cities, Memphis recycles some plastic products. Like many cities, Memphis does not accept recycled material that are coded as a 5.
And lots of things are 5’s. Seriously, if you recycle plastic products, but you’re not very observant about the numbers, you’ve probably been throwing 5’s into your recycling bin without even knowing it.
I personally put 5’s in my recycle bin to show that city of Memphis that there is a market for them to recycle them. I mean, if they’re going to get pitched anyway, might as well try to do some good with them before they end up in a landfill somewhere.
But now there is a better way.
