Do you save your takeout containers?

I throw them away if they are Styrofoam of course and if too greasy from oil or sauce, but many I save ...they come in handy!!
Grandma put everything in take out containers. took me over an hour to find butter for my toast
Check the number (1-7) in the triangle on the bottom!

Re-use ONLY plastic with numbers 2, 4 or 5.

If they're a washable plastic with a tight fitting lid, then I'll reuse them.

I do when they come in plastic containers. Free tupperware.

Used to but it's not healthy to reuse them
I have a few. they are good for microwaving

I just saw an article about plastic containers that recommended recycling them but advised against reusing. They said the forever chemicals and micro plastics leach out into food or liquids that we then ingest. This process is increased by microwaving.

Depends. Most are made too cheap to reuse. But the containers from like Longhorn are perfect to bring lunch to work and not have to worry about bringing them home.

If they are good quality I reuse them a couple times. They are hard to sterilize so I don’t keep them long.

Yes, so the lids can vanish with the Tupperware ones, somewhere in the Tupperware Triangle

I literally haven't seen a styrofoam container in years. I try to reuse the takeout containers if possible

Nah, they've all been cardboard or paper. So straight to the recycle bin they go.

Sometimes. Not always. It's nice to have a couple hanging around for when you need them.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
