Find Local Recycling Sources for Ring Carriers (LDPE #4)

Hi-Cone ring carriers can be included in local recycling programs and wherever #4 LDPE or mixed plastics are collected. This is the most environmentally friendly way to recycle your rings for several reasons.

Using Local recycling Sources:

—  Saves on the fuel that is consumed in the shipping of the  rings from one location to another.

—  Saves on the packaging that is required for shipping the rings, which, in turn, creates more materials to be recycled.

—  Increases the success of your local recycling programs, helping to ensure their continued growth.

For these “green” reasons, it is best that you check to see what local recycling sources are available to you first.  Here are two good sources to check to see if #4 LDPE is collected in your area:
