Plastic Food Storage Containers

Plastic Food Storage Containers

Plastic food containers can be recycled only if they are made of plastic #1 or plastic #2. Otherwise they go in the garbage.

It is important to never microwave, dishwash, or heat plastic containers! When heated, plastic leaches toxic chemicals that can be consumed through your food. Instead, transfer to a microwave safe bowl before heating and wash by hand with lukewarm water.
