Winter Clamshell Recycling Event

Whole Foods successfully recycled all the plastic clamshell containers they collected last October, and want to do it again in 2018!

Mark your calendars:

• Jan 27

Please note, due to shifting markets in the global recycling industry, these clamshell recycling events at Whole Foods have been cancelled for the remainder of 2018. If you have been collecting them they will need to be put in the trash. When possible, please consider bringing your own containers/bags and make bulk purchases to avoid bringing home more material.

• These events will run from 10:00 – 4:00. Items collected are only plastic clamshells. Here are some examples of what often comes in clamshells:

• To-Go style plastic take out containers
• Grapes, cheery tomatoes, strawberries
• Lettuce

We are also looking for volunteers to help staff these events, as it is a great opportunity to talk to people about what is and isn’t recyclable locally, as well as other topics related to rethinking waste. Contact Denise if you’re interested!
