Are Milk Cartons Recyclable?

We recycle cardboard and plastics but what do we do with the hybrid versions that contain both? 

Refrigerated cartons are made up of about 80% cardboard with plastic making up the remaining 20%.  This 2-commodity item actually takes a special process to recycle it.

Many recycling centers, including Recycling Works used by Borden Waste-Away in Elkhart, still consider this product a trash item considering the lengthy and expensive process involved in recycling it.
