YOGURT AND BUTTER TUBS
They are often recyclable curbside, but not always. Check locally. Clean tubs before placing in the bin.
These containers are usually marked with a 5 inside a triangle. Tubs are often made with a mix of plastic types. This can make it a difficult material for recyclers to sell to companies that would rather have a single type of plastic for their manufacturing.
However, that's not always the case. Trash collection and disposal company "Waste Management" says they work with a manufacturer that takes yogurt, sour cream and butter tubs and turns them into paint cans, for example.
