#5 Plastics and Brita Filters Voluntary Take-Back Program #5 plastics and Brita filters
Share/Bookmark
Preserve, Stonyfield Farm, Organic Valley, and Brita have teamed up to collect and recycle number 5 plastics leaving NYCWasteLess (like some yogurt cups, hummus tubs, and other food containers) and Brita® pitcher filters leaving NYCWasteLess.
These items can be recycled via the Preserve Gimme5 program leaving NYCWasteLess by bringing them to a participating Whole Foods location leaving NYCWasteLess or Green in BKLYN leaving NYCWasteLess. Caps can also be sent to Aveda for recycling through its Recycle Caps Program leaving NYCWasteLess, which are then sent to Preserve.
Voluntary take-back programs such as these enable the recycling of certain rigid plastics that would be uneconomical to recycle through NYC's curbside recycling program.
