Cartons can either be recycled or composted. Some schools compost their milk cartons. But what does composting mean?

Composting is when empty milk cartons are combined with food waste and other organics to become soil amendment which is used to help grow plants.

At home you can recycle milk cartons. Recycling is when you turn in your milk cartons to be made into something brand new! After recycling, cartons can become tissue and other paper products. Over 21 million families can recycle cartons at home.
