Plastic bags and film packaging are important durable and lightweight protection for food and merchandise in transit. But these materials SHOULD NOT be recycled in most curbside carts or single stream programs. Thankfully, many grocers and retailers and some communities provide specific collection bins for bags and film to be recycled separately from other recyclables.
The St. Dominic Creation Care Team will be collection plastic bags and film packaging in the white bins at the church entrances throughout September. We are partnering with NexTrex to recycle your household bags & wrap into Trex’s Earth-friendly composite decking and railing!
