Preserve Gimme 5 Recycling!

The Preserve Gimme 5 program gives shoppers a convenient drop-off location for containers often not accepted at municipal recycling centers. Collecting #5 plastic in stores and sending it to Preserve will limit the environmental footprint of this material and give it a second life as a new and useful Preseve product. Our Preserve Gimme 5 bin is located outside the front of the store near the shopping carts.

Polypropylene #5 is a strong, lightweight, food-grade, easy-to-recycle plastic. Common #5 plastics include packaging for yogurt, cottage cheese, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, margarine and hummus containers; medicine bottles; some plastic ice cream containers; and food storage and take-out containers. The number 5 should be plainly marked on the bottom of the container.

Additionally, the Preseve Gimme 5 program accepts Brita® water pitcher filters for recycling. Instructions for drying and submitting these filters can be found at www.preserveproducts.com.
