Recycling Plastic Wrap/Film
If you are able to stretch the plastic with your finger then you are able to recycle it with the grocery bags.
All these materials should be placed in the bin marked plastic grocery bags and not with the plastic bottles.
If small and loose, like individual grocery bags, please contain and combine these materials into plastic bags – doing so will help us to bale this material, as well as make it much less likely for these materials to blow away from the recycling bins.
