Plastic Bags and Plastic Film

Plastic bags, wraps, and films can’t be recycled in your curbside recycling bins. But, you can take some of these items to local retail stores where they collect plastic grocery bags for recycling. Any package that you see with the How2Recycle Store Drop-Off label can be recycled this way. Check out this website to learn more about Store Drop-Off and participating locations near you.
