Plastic bags are now recyclable! As well as styrofoam too! I heard this on the radio and decided to look it up.
----------------------------
Can I throw my plastic bags in my Blue Bin?Grocery and other retail plastic shopping bags can now go into your Blue Bin.
Do I just throw them in?No. The bags have to be empty; remove any receipts and put all the bags in one bag and then tie closed. Do not use a rubber band or twist tie.
Can all plastic bags go in?No. At this time only plastic retail and grocery bags can go in.
What type of bags can’t go in?Bags with drawstrings, hard plastic handles and metal details cannot go in. They can go in, if you cut these items off.
The following bags are also not included:
Dry cleaning
Milk (outer and inner)
Produce
Bread
Sandwich
Plastic food wrap
