The middle man of beverages – straws. Are they recyclable in your single stream recycling bin?
NO, unless you know for sure that your straw is a #2 plastic.
Most straws are made from #2 or #5 plastic – but the problem is they are rarely labeled. If you have the option to bypass the use of a straw, this is encouraged, but if you can’t, here are a few options for you.
Basically, next time you buy straws, buy #2 plastic straws or reusable straws – this way you and the planet are better off.
