In most areas, it's acceptable to recycle plastic types #1 (PET, Polyethylene Terephthalate) and #2 (HDPE, High-Density Polyethylene), commonly used in bottles and jugs, in your curbside recycling bin. However, the specifics may depend on the local recycling program in your area. Plastic items should be clean and dry. Items like plastic bags, plastic wrap or any soft, flexible plastic materials often cannot be recycled curbside and may need to be taken to a specific collection point. Always check with local regulations or waste management services to confirm what can be recycled.
