• #2 HDPE (high-density polyethylene) Plastic

Acceptable recyclable materials for donation include:

Bring in 75 pounds of recyclable material in any 3-month period to the center and receive a credit for the recycling fee on your next PGS refuse bill. To receive this credit, the yellow recycling statement from the back of your PGS bill must be presented and stamped by the recycling attendant during each visit. One stamp is given for each 25 pounds of recyclable material presented at the Buyback Center.
