Where to throw cartons from juices, milk and other drinks? We are separating the waste increasingly more careful, but it still makes it a lot of problems and raises doubts. At first glance, the case is an obvious case with cardboard boxes, but it is easy to mistake.

Not only to protect the environment is worth taking care of the sorting of waste and its correct disposal. Most people have no problems with this, even if there is any waste that puts us in front of the garbage dilemma. In such situations it is easy to make an expensive mistake.

What to put into which container? Theoretically the principle is simple

We have five containers to choose from: blue on paper, green on glass, brown to biodegradable waste, yellow for plastics, synthetics and metal and black or gray for mixed waste. It includes everything that does not fit into the other four and it is not a special waste that should be disposed of, for example, in special electronic waste collection points or separate municipal waste collection points. This applies, among other things, bulbs, batteries, old furniture, paint containers and lately also clothing and textiles. Easy? Not necessarily.

Where to throw out the cartons from the juice? A lot of people make a mistake

Drink cartons, despite their name, should never end up in a paper and cardboard container. Also, they should not go to a black container.

  • The only correct way is a yellow container for plastics and metals. Why?

  • Bend plastic bottles, cans and beverage cartons from juices before throwing in the container.
  • But what to do with the lid? Do not separate it from cardboard. It should also land in a yellow container.
  • Empty the contents of cardboard and discard the inedible residues into the mixed waste container. You do not have to wash the containers, just leave them empty.
