This ketchup bottle can be recycled, but not as it is.
Ketchup bottles can be recycled, but only after you’ve rinsed them out first.
According to Waste Management, the ketchup is a contaminant. Just rinse the bottle in the sink or run it through your dishwater and let it air dry. If it isn’t recycling pick-up day, you can let it dry right in your bin.
After it is clean, either put the lid back on for recycling or throw the lid out. Don't recycle it separately.
Over the next month, the Arizona Star Daily will bring you the do’s and don’ts of recycling. Contact Johanna Eubank at jeubank@tucson.com
