Drop-off locations may vary with what items they will accept. Once you
have found your location, check to make sure they accept the items you
want to bring.
Bags Not Accepted
The following items are not accepted at any location:
- Degradable bags
- Frozen food bags
- Prewashed salad mix bags
If a bag is not labeled as degradable, a
simple test
will determine whether it can be taken or not. If you give the bag or
wrap a slight tug and it stretches, it is likely recyclable. If it rips
or tears more similar to paper, it is likely not. When in doubt, don't
recycle items you are unsure of. Bags and films that are dirty or wet
hinder the recycling process and may prevent the reuse of entire loads
of recovered items.
