Egg Cartons

Disposal Options

Clean, intact paper (fiber) egg cartons can be reused by some egg producers. If you get eggs locally, consider asking if you can return the container. Reuse is a more efficient use of materials and energy than recycling or landfilling an item.

Some egg cartons are also recyclable:

• Paper (fiber) egg cartons can be recycled with your blue bin recycling, as long as they are clean. If they are soiled, they can be composted at home or placed in the trash.
• Plastic egg cartons should be recycled with your blue bin recycling, as long as they are clean. If they are soiled, rinse clean before recycling.

Styrofoam egg cartons are not recyclable and must be disposed of as trash.

Cost

The fee associated with your town drop-off or curbside collection service applies for this item.
