PLASTIC BAG DISPOSAL:

DO NOT PLACE PLASTIC BAGS OF ANY KIND IN YOUR CURBSIDE RECYCLING BIN.  Your curbside recyclables can be placed directly in your bin, there is no need to bag this material. 
Most McCaffery's Food Market, Walmart, Acme, Stop and Shop, Kohls, Shoprite, Target and Lowe's stores accept plastic film, including bags, for recycling. Bring plastic bags to these drop off locations.
For more information about what materials can be brought to these drop offs, or to find the nearest location to you, check the following website:

This website lists the type of film that are acceptable.  Click on "Participating U.S Locations" for the location nearest you.

Why can't I just recycle my bags with my curbside recyclables??
Plastic bags clog up the equipment at the facilities that process our curbside recyclables which causes lost production hours and money.

What items can I include with plastic bags??
Visit the websites above for a specific list.  For general guidance, do not include other plastic containers or bottles, compostable bags, film/bags contaminated with food, wet bags, frozen food bags, or black plastic garbage bags.  Bread bags, plastic film covering cases of water, cereal bags, newspaper bags, and plastic shopping bags are all accepted at these drop off locations.
