INSTRUCTIONS
Single-use plastics (including small single serve condiment packets) are NOT acceptable for recycling at UCRRA or participating Town Transfer Stations. Condiment packets are widely not accepted for recycling by curbside collection services as well.
The Ulster County Skip the Straw Act, Local Law Number 2 of 2019, provides that single use plastic straws can be made available to patrons of restaurants and fast food establishments only upon the customer’s request. This law was later amended by Local Law Number 7 of 2019 to include plastic stirrers, plastic cutlery and condiment packets.
OTHER OPTIONS
Bulk-dispensing options are more economical for food service establishments and they greatly reduce waste!
Please note that condiment bottles and jugs are highly recyclable.
