Code 5 plastics, or polypropylene (PP), are commonly used in disposable utensils, yogurt containers, microwaveable dinners and plastic disposable cups and plates. Code 6, or polystyrene (PS), plastics are used in food type packaging as well. Code 6 can also be foamed and used as packing peanuts and in other
foam protective packaging. Many recycling centers do not accept these kinds of plastics. To recycle them, you may have to send the material to a company that can reuse it. Earth911 (earth911.com) offers a locating service, which will locate places to recycle the less accepted kinds of plastics. Make sure to clean the plastics and then place them in a separate container make dropping them off easier.
