How to dispose of resealable deli meat and cheese packaging
Resealable packaging
Put into your black cart
Put plastic resealable food containers into your black cart as garbage. These packs have a resealable top with a harder plastic bottom. They are commonly used for deli meat and cheese slices.
Why can't this be recycled?
These types of resealable packaging are made up of multiple layers of different types of plastic that are laminated together. They cannot be easily separated for recycling which is why they belong in the garbage.
