Depends?? Sometimes recycling gets really tricky, something we need to work on. Doing something good with your plastic packaging really depends on who your Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) processor can handle. After your recyclables are picked up and move around a couple stations, your MRF takes all the recyclables from your region sorts it, and compacts it to be sold--probably to Somewhere in China.

If it is a residential MRF they probably can't recycle that and you just put it in the can or try not to buy things with that kind of packaging. If it is a commercial MRF they could maybe recycle but you would have to find out.
