Newton resident Kathy Messina’s head-scratcher: rigid plastic can carriers.
Can the plastic carrier that comes on top of canned items, such a four pack of craft beer, be recycled? Defer to the saying, “When in doubt, throw it out,” says Ermin Siljkovic, a local recycling coordinator. Rigid plastic can carriers can only be recycled when delivered in large quantities to a plastics recycling processor – so check with your local brewery about a take-back program.
