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.
