OREOs

I love OREOs!   Who doesn't?   Problem is... our beloved OREOs come in an all too familiar package.  So here's the question of the day... Can this be recycled?


Well, the answer is YES... and NO.   If you take a moment to take the packaging apart, you'll find a cardboard insert and a plastic tray inside.   Guess what?!?!  They can both be recycled!   Woo hoo!



Now, all your left with is the outside packaging.  Sadly, it goes in the garbage. Boo!

But at least we diverted 2/3 of it from the landfill.  That's something to smile about.
