Plastic Milk Jugs

Our selection of plastic milk jugs is made out of food-grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the most common plastic used in milk jug production. HDPE is a lightweight, durable plastic capable of withstanding damage caused by temperature expansion, transportation, and handling! It often has a translucent finish.

Store-bought milk in plastic jugs can be stored in a refrigerator until the milk’s expiration date, printed on the jug or cap.

When storing locally-sourced milk in empty plastic jugs, the recommended storage time will depend on whether or not it is pasteurized. Pasteurized milk, which has been heated at a high temperature to kill bacteria, can generally be refrigerated in a milk jug for 10-21 days. Unpasteurized or raw milk tends to have a shelf life of 7-10 days in the refrigerator. Glass milk bottles are preferred for raw milk storage.

All liquid milk should be refrigerated unless labeled as shelf-stable. Regardless of expected shelf-life, it is important to dispose of milk if it shows signs of spoilage, such as a sour smell and taste, discoloration, and thick, clumpy texture.

Yes, empty milk jugs are generally recyclable because HDPE is commonly accepted in curbside recycling. Before recycling, empty and rinse your milk jug of any residue and let it dry.
