Are plastic bags recyclable at the MRF?
No! Plastic bags, plastic wrap, and other plastic “film” are not recyclable. Do not put your paper or containers in plastic bags prior to recycling. Plastic bags are a serious contaminant and litter problem at the recycling facility. Check with your grocery store to see if they accept clean grocery bags for recycling and if so, what are their guidelines. If they don’t accept them ask them to begin a recycling program.
