Egg Cartons

Paper egg cartons are widely acceptable for recycling, while plastic egg cartons are NOT acceptable for recycling.

Please refer to our instructions for CLAMSHELLS and POLYSTYRENE. 

Reuse cartons as much as possible. If you live near a farm, or a farmers market, contact the farmer to inquire about donating your used egg cartons.

If you use a hauler who picks up your recycling curbside, please check with the company for their recycling guidelines. Cartons are sometimes accepted in single stream recycling programs, but recycling guidelines can vary from company to company. To learn more about carton recycling, visit the Carton Council.
