I just fell in love with the concept of doing something with these and I finally found some at The…
Stock containers, soy milk, and some alternative milks, these mixed material containers: composite, these go in the trash. If you can find glass or plastic those are going to be recyclable but these cartons go in the trash can. If you’re unsure: milk cartons, the square ones, they also go in the trash can. They’re…
