What Do Recycling Symbols on Plastics Mean?

March 27, 2008 · No Comments

Click the link for a nice visual tour of plastic types. What about Portland recycling? Good luck. They don’t list by numbers. I tried calling and got put on hold, so I gave up. From their site:

Plastic bottles and jars:
-Must have a neck or screw-on top
-remove caps, lids, spray pumps
-No bottles that contained petroleum based products (e.g., motor oil), pesticides or herbicides.
-No tubs, yogurt containers, bags, styrofoam, or any plastic container that doesn’t have a neck or screw-on top.

Update 3/27/08: Casa Diablo is in the NYT.

Casa Diablo, the world’s first vegan strip club in Portland. Dancers are also discouraged from wearing stage costumes that are made from animal products. Bonus - it is non-smoking.

Visit Casa Diablo while you can it’s for sale.
