In segment 1 Joey and Holly talk about 7 things that can not be recycled
Take-Out Food Containers
While your late-night pizza or Chinese takeout may come in cardboard containers, these types of boxes cannot be recycled. Any grease or food particles that may be present can potentially damage and/or contaminate the other materials that are to be recycled
Plastic Grocery Bags
Many people think that if something is made out of plastic, it can be recycled but this does not apply to plastic bags, since they have a tendency to get caught in recycling machinery and potentially damage the equipment. If you're interested in recycling plastic bags, check to see if your local grocery store will accept your old plastic bags for reuse.
Plastic Bottle Caps
If you recycle plastic bottles, such as water or soda bottles, detergent bottles or other containers with a hard plastic twist-off or flip-top cap, be sure to remove them before tossing them in the recycling bin. These types of caps are typically made from polypropylene, or plastic #5, and can't be recycled..
Styrofoam
Styrofoam, or expanded polystyrene, of any kind cannot be recycled. This includes packing peanuts used in moving boxes, styrofoam coffee cups or food containers, coolers, etc. Styrofoam can neither be recycled nor does it biodegrade and you should be careful to limit your use of these types of products
Certain Paper Products
There are certain types of paper products that can't be recycled, either because of issues related to contamination or issues related to their composition. Napkins, paper towels and tissue are generally considered too contaminated to recycle Paper that is laminated or has a plastic coating, such as a frozen food box, cannot be recycled because the coating prevents the fibers from being broken down properly during the recycling process
Certain Types of Glass
Glassware and ceramics are designed with a higher melting point than other types of glass and cannot be recycled Pyrex baking dishes, lightbulbs, fluorescent lighting, window glass, mirrors, plate glass, eyeglasses and glass art should also be left out of the recycling bin
Shredded Paper
Shredded paper represents a problem for recycling plants because of the difficulty involved in sorting the recyclable paper from the nonrecyclable material. Shredded paper can also potentially clog up the machinery and can be difficult to handle. Consider sending your shredded paper to the compost pile instead
