embalagens de cartão para alimentos líquidos
Cartons for liquid food and drinks — the familiar milk and juice cartons known by the brand name Tetra Pak. They are not part of the Volta deposit scheme: no deposit is charged on them and the machines do not take them back. This packaging goes in the yellow bin, as before.
Where you come across it. Lists of what is and is not included in the deposit scheme, rubbish sorting rules.
Juice in a carton and juice in a plastic bottle are disposed of differently: you get nothing back for the carton and 10 cents back for the bottle.
