Where to dispose of meat packaging? Most people will first point to a specific container without hesitation. The problem is that we are very often wrong. And although we are dealing with a plastic or metal product, it should not belong in the yellow container. Meat packaging should be disposed of in mixed waste.
Separating waste is not new, but some people still have problems with it, as evidenced by the fact that not everyone knows where to put meat or sausage wrappers. Logic dictates that plastic packaging should be disposed of together with other plastic and metal waste. However, this is a mistake.
Where to dispose of meat packaging and why not in plastic and metal containers?
Meat packaging, whether plastic, trays or paper, comes into contact with organic substances such as blood or fat. For this reason, it is not suitable for the yellow container. It should be treated as unsorted waste and disposed of in a mixed container. Many people make the mistake of choosing a container for plastics and metals.
The only acceptable way to dispose of the meat packaging in the yellow container is to clean it first. However, this procedure is not recommended because it results in additional consumption of water and cleaning agents and ultimately is not better for the environment at all.
It is also necessary to remember that leftover meat or spoiled meat or bones should also go in mixed waste, not in bio-waste.
