Recycling #5 Containers

Drop Off Otherwise Un-Recyclable #5 Plastic at Whole Foods

Preserve, the company creating stylish household products out of 100% recycled plastics, has just announced their new ‘Gimme 5’ recycling program.

They’ve teamed up with organic yogurt maker Stonyfield Farm, and Organic Valley, the organic, farmer-owned cooperative, to make recycling #5s possible through convenient drop-off locations in select Whole Foods Markets in the Midwest, Northeast and Northern California. Whole Foods in Florida will join the program in mid-February.
In addition to accepting #5 plastics, Preserve’s Gimme 5 program accepts Brita water pitcher filters.
All the plastic that Preserve collects will be turned into new products such as their toothbrushes, razors and tableware.

Kudos to Preserve. Take your #5 containers to Whole Foods and share those kudos.
