Plastic Recycling codes

Every few months I like to purge our accumulated plastics and check their codes. Anything with a 1, 3, 6 or 7 automatically gets tossed. They are the most notoriously dangerous plastics. Household plastics should have a little triangle on the bottom with their designated recycling code inside the triangle. After a purging I like to treat Riley or myself with a new stainless steel water bottle. http://www.plasticfreebottles.com/stainless-steel-bottles.php/Foogo-Thermos/stainless-steel-insulated-sippy-cup


I use the chart here to determine what gets recycled. www.plasticfreebottles.com/pdf/Understanding-Plastic-Codes.pdf
