Question
Can I use plastic grocery/retail bags to bundle or sack newspaper, paperboard, and junk mail?
Answer
No. Plastic grocery bags are not accepted in our recycling program. These bags are currently only recyclable at the stores from where they originated. Please recycle your bags at these stores which have recycling boxes at their entrances. We ask that you place your newspaper, junk mail, and paperboard in separate paper grocery bags, which are recyclable in our program. Please consider purchasing reusable cloth bags for your shopping needs. Doing so is the best environmental practice since it reduces the number of plastic and paper bags used.
