Beginning November 2, 2024, Rumpke Waste and Recycling will accept clear plastic clamshell containers for recycling. This includes clear plastic carry-out containers, clear plastic fruit, berry and lettuce containers and clear plastic egg containers. These items can now be placed in your blue Dublin recycling bin.

According to a Rumpke press release, the installation of 19 optic scanners, along with artificial intelligence, allows Rumpke to identify and sort plastic clamshells from other types of plastics within the recycling stream. After processing, Rumpke will bale the clamshell containers and ship them to a partner manufacturer that will recycle them into plastic pellets for use in the production of a variety of new plastic products.
