Exciting recycling update from Rumpke! Plastic clamshell containers are now accepted!

We Can’t Contain Our Excitement
Rumpke Waste & Recycling is berry egg-cited to launch a new acceptable item for recycling—clamshell plastic containers! Starting November 1, 2024, you can add clamshells to your recycling carts. This includes:

  • Clear plastic carry-out containers
  • Clear plastic fruit, berry and lettuce containers
  • Clear plastic egg containers
With the grand opening of The Rumpke Recycling & Resource Center, North America’s largest recycling facility, new artificial intelligence and optic technology allows Rumpke to separate plastic clamshells from other recycling containers and send them directly to end-users that create new plastic pellets.
So what are you waiting for? Toss those clamshell containers in your bin loose with all the plastic bottles, jugs, tubs and cups, aluminum and metal cans, paper, cardboard, cartons and glass bottles and jars and put more of your trash to good use!
