	#1 â€“ Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE) The most common sources to recycle are 2-liter soda bottles and water bottles.

(http://www.fac.unc.edu/WasteReduction/Recyclables/plastics.asp#plastics)
	#2 â€“ High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) This is the most common plastic used in plastic bottle manufacture, about 50-60%. Examples include milk and detergent jugs, shampoo and lotion bottles.

	#5 â€“ Polypropylene (PP) A large proportion of polypropylene is used in fiber constituents of fabrics, upholstery and carpets.

	The most commonly recycled plastics are those which comprise containers and packaging, such as soft drink bottles, lids, and shampoo bottles. Others, which are generally not recyclable are often used as components of appliances, furniture, disposable diapers, trash bags, cups and utensils, and medical devices. While overall recovery of plastics for recycling is relatively small, at slightly over 5%, recovery of plastic containers, such as soft drink bottles, milk, and water bottles has reached higher levels.
