Not all paper, cardboard, and plastic products can be recycled! Examine the photos below and determine why the following products CANNOT be recycled.
Plastic Bags
Plastic baggies can never be recycled, despite having the word "plastic" in the title. Interestingly, plastic products are sometimes re-purposed into bags.
Paint Cans
Though made from aluminum, paint cans are not recyclable material. This is because the paint inside stains the can which disrupts the recycling process.
Paper Towels/ Toilet Paper
Any paper product contaminated with food residue or fluid cannot be recycled because the oils from the residue saturates the material.
