Plastic Jugs

Plastic jugs come in a variety of materials and styles. Common types of plastic used to make jugs include high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Plastic jugs also come in a range of styles, such as plastic milk jugs, plastic F-Style bottles, plastic carboys, laboratory carboys, and plastic industrial jugs.

To recycle plastic jugs, follow a few quick steps to ensure they make it through the recycling system. First, rinse the jugs of any leftover residue – having a clean jug helps prevent the contamination of other recyclable materials. Be sure to not remove the caps from the jugs, as it ensures the caps are also recycled. Caps can be too small to enter the recycling process themselves and pose the risk of getting lost. 

Before putting your plastic jugs in your curbside recycling bin or taking them to a local recycling facility, remember to check and see which types of plastic they can afford to accept.

Most manufacturers recommend that you only use plastic gallon jugs once, as they can grow harmful bacteria at a quick rate. If you do plan on reusing plastic jugs, be sure to wash them thoroughly and try not to reuse them more than once. Plastic jugs shouldn’t be reused if they start showing signs of wear and tear such as cracks and scratches. Some tears can be microscopic and hard to see, which is another reason gallon jugs are only recommended to be used once.
