Did you know that come Oct. 1, that will be illegal to throw plastic bottles in the trash can?

Rigid plastic containers such as soda and water bottles, laundry detergent containers and milk jugs, will no longer be able to be discarded in regular trash bins beginning Oct. 1 after the state of North Carolina becomes one of the first in the nation to ban the practice.

Rigid plastics are defined as bottles with a neck smaller than the body of the container.
