Ed, this is in response to “Un-recyclable.” Plastic jugs and aluminum cans are recyclable and should be placed in your yellow bucket at the curb. Aluminum foil is not recyclable and yogurt containers are usually number 4 or 5 plastics and are not recyclable in Mercer County. If you have any questions call the country recycling department at 609-278-8086 or visit the Web site for a complete list of what the county recycles www.mcia-nj.com.
