Peanut Packing Can Be Recycled

Wondering what to do with the plastic peanuts that padded those gifts you received this Christmas? They can now be recycled. The Plastic Loose Fill Producers Council has set up more than 2,500 collection centers across the country as part of a nationwide recycling effort.

Packing peanuts are not biodegradable. They will still be around in 500 years if they end up in the landfill. So don’t throw the pellets out with your trash.

Call 1-800-828-2214 to find a collection center near you or save them and reuse later when packing gifts.
