Weed giant Tweed and recycling company TerraCycle have created a free program for recycling any and all packaging legal recreational marijuana comes in in Canada.

For example, while plastic milk cartons can be recycled at the city of Holland’s waste hauler Republic Services, lids cannot. Neither can paper milk cartons (although third-party recyclers such as TerraCycle can). For the rest of the answers, keep reading.
