Toothpaste

How to dispose of toothpaste

Put toothpaste and all types of toothpaste tubes into your black cart as garbage.

Why can’t this item be recycled?

Toothpaste tubes are made of multiple types of materials that cannot easily be separated for recycling. Some brands have created tubes that are now made of one type of plastic, but the sorting facility equipment would not be able to tell the difference between these different tubes. As the vast majority of toothpaste tubes are still multi-material items, they belong in the garbage.
