Did you know? Plastic bags can't go in most curbside recycling bins. They tangle in sorting machinery, causing more heartbreak than harmony for our recycling facilities.

Plastic bags should be recycled through a grocery store take-back program.

NOTE FOR COORDINATORS:

Include a link or location for a current verified bag collection program in your community.

🚨 Quick Tip: Plastic bags don't belong in your curbside recycling! 🚨

Plastic bags get tangled in the machinery at most recycling facilities, which puts people and equipment in danger.

Instead, take them to a grocery store with a bag recycling program. Let's keep them in the circular economy and out of trouble!

Do your part: Recycle bags right and spread the word. Together, we can make a difference! 🌎♻️
