Mushroom and specialty ag packaging creates film, trays and cardboard.
Specialty ag packaging waste
Flatten cardboard. Soft plastics often need depot or garbage paths.
Organics caution
Keep growing substrate and food residue out of the packaging stream. Contaminated packaging may fail recycling. Keep chemicals out of junk bins.
