There are two methods of manufacturing plastic containers, blow molding and injection molding. Blow molding produces neck bottles (shampoo bottles), while injection molding produces pails (margarine tubs). Your recycling program may be based on a digital system or how the plastic is manufactured. Consult your local recycling coordinator to find out what types of plastics can be recycled in your community. Be sure to only recycle plastics that are collected in your recycling program!
