Those are worth it. The higher numbers are just informing you that recycling (or better environmental choices in material) happened to some extent before the product reached you. Even if ALL Plastics are picked up… it is the 1′s and 2′s that are actually reused.

Most recycling drop offs (or pick up service) will also take newspaper, magazines, junk mail, white/colored paper, telephone books, flattened (non-soiled) boxes, glass bottles or jars and food/soda cans (labels may stay).

Avoid these: NO plastic bags – do not put your recyclables in plastic bags. Also, remember that pizza boxes are soiled obviously and are therefore non-recyclable.
