Simple Sundries Recycling Services

 Simple Sundries does not "recycle" plastic bottles as much as reuse them.  All donated plastic bottles get cleaned, refilled with household products and donated to the school food pantries in East County. 


We accept recycling from our Sustaining Members only, otherwise come see us at the next Recycling Event.

What does simple sundries accept?

Plastic pump-lid bottles

Lotion and hand soap (among other things) are often sold in pump-lid bottles.  Simple Sundries takes these bottles for reuse.  Bottles must be empty and 32 ounces or less.


We do not accept Foaming Pumps Lids

Plastic squeeze bottles contain a wide array of products.  Soap, mustard, ketchup, salad dressing, sunscreen.  Many of these plastic bottles are considered single use plastic, but not to us!  Bottles must be empty, clean-ish and 32 ounces or less.

We also make our own pump lids for mason jars.  So we will take pumps without bottles.  We do not, however, take plastic bottles without lids.
