Juice Boxes and Milk Cartons

Did you know that all residents in Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal and New Hope can now recycle paper juice boxes and milk cartons in the recycling cart? That's right, juice boxes and milk cartons are made of mostly paper (70-85%), but they also have barrier layers of aluminum and plastic. A new process allows the layers to be separated and recycled. juice boxes can recycle and that includes other items like orange juice cartons and tomato juice boxes. Please throw away your straw (for now).

Thanks Jill (a blog follower) for requesting information about recycling juice boxes and milk cartons!
