Alternative Community Training (ACT) is now taking #5, 6 and 7 plastics. These are plastic containers that the City of Columbia does not recycle; the City recycles #1 and #2. To find out what kind of plastic you have, just check the number on the bottom of the container. #4 and #5 plastics are primarily plastic wrap and plastic bags. You may recycle plastic bags at most grocery stores in town. For a complete explanation of the different types of plastics, visit Earth911.com.
Please take your 5, 6 and 7 plastics to the ACT center at 2200 Burlington (View Larger Map).
The Greener MU Libraries Task Force will also take your materials to ACT. Please drop off your plastics in Shannon Cary’s office at Ellis Library or in the Health Sciences Library staff lounge.

Shannon, do you know ACT’s hours, and do they have a dropoff point for plastics that can be used when they are not open?
Rachel,
They don’t list this info on their Web site. I haven’t had a chance to call yet.
Shannon
Shannon is very generous to offer this drop-off service, but I urge everyone to rinse out the containers that you intend to recycle. That will help a great deal. Many thanks to Shannon and the members of the Greener MU Libraries TF.
