Drink pouches

Drink pouches must be thrown into the trash and cannot be recycled curbside because their flexible material qualities cause them to be sorted with the paper and cardboard. Pouches also often have multiple layers of different materials like aluminum foil, plastic, and paper laminated together. This makes them difficult to separate and recycle even though some of these materials may be recyclable on their own.

However, pouches can be recycled through special mail back programs.
