Finally, a recycling solution for your yogurt cups, hummus tubs and other #5 plastic containers! If you’re serious about recycling, you know that most communities don’t accept these common containers for recycling. There’s not enough money in it for them to make it work. And those communities that do accept #5s almost always bundle those with other low value plastics and sell them to someone else who burns them for energy. Yuck!
Preserve and our partners created the Gimme 5 program to offer a simple way to save these plastics and make sure they have a second life. Now you can enjoy all of those great products that come packaged in #5 plastic, save them up, clean them out and drop them at one of these retail locations. Just look for the Preserve Gimme 5 bin.
By recycling your #5s through the Gimme 5 program, you are:
- Saving plastic from being sent to landfills
- Keeping it local by recycling it here in the USA
- Powering Preserve by helping us transform your recyclables into new Preserve toothbrushes and razors
