See page 12 of today's 'The Jersey City Reporter'. Hudson County only accepts #1 and #2 plastic bottles and jars. I wish they can distribute posters that we can put up in the garbage room.

I've lived in Jersey City now for about 3 1/2 years, but I've yet to get an answer to this plastics recycling question.

When it comes to plastics recycling, does anyone know which plastics can be recycled in JC? By type I am referring to the number on the bottom of most plastics.

Most cities only have the capability to recycle 1 and 2 plastics, and the remaining types, 3 thru 7, should be thrown out with the regular garbage.

I called the JCIA and emailed them when I first moved here, but never received a good answer. On the phone, the person I talked to sounded very confused - just put it all in he said. He didn't seem to understand what I meant by different plastic types. I never received an email reply. Great PR JCIA.

Thanks for your help.
