Did you know that not all plastic bottles are created equal?

When it comes to recycling, soda and water bottles are considered #1 plastics - also known as PETE, short for polyethylene terephthalate. Milk jugs and detergent bottles are considered #2 plastics - also known as HDPE, short for high‑density polyethylene. The good news is, BOTH are recycled curbside in Gwinnett.
