Plastic cups, like thin plastic party cups, are not currently recyclable locally due to changes in international recycling markets and should be thrown away. Community members may choose to avoid them by selecting reusable options and avoiding products packaged in low-value plastics. 

Sturdy plastic stadium cups (generally the type that can be reused) with a #5 in the chasing arrows symbol can be recycled curbside or at drop-off centers, as long as they are empty and dry.
