Milk/juice carton

All milk, juice, and soup cartons (aka aseptic packaging, gable-top, etc) should be placed in your household trash.

Cartons are made of several different materials—like paper, plastic and aluminum—that are pressed together to form a waterproof, temperature resistant seal. This makes them difficult to recycle.

While some facilities in different parts of the country have the technology required to separate these materials and process them for recycling, we can’t handle them at our recycling facility here in Chittenden County.
