Chasing arrows symbol can be found on a variety of packaging and explain a range of information, which is represented with a 'chasing arrows' symbol surrounding a number between 1 and 7 that defines the object used.

Many people assume that a product being stamped with that symbol means it can be recycled. But in reality, the numbers indicate the grade of plastic and can also tell you about the safety and uses of that item.  

There's a lot of talk about plastic pollution right now, including the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and how plastic is leaching into our tap water. Recycling is a small way to keep these items out of landfills, waterways and oceans. 

Hope above guide can help you to figure out what the different triangles mean and check to see if your items are recyclable at the Hebron Transfer Station and recycling Center.
