• Plastic bags - grocery bags, food packaging, baggies/ziplocks. This may result in your bin not being emptied. 

• Bubble wrap, packaging wrap (ie, encasing paper towels, soap, gift wrap, juice boxes, etc.) - pretty much every type of plastic you can crumple in your hand! 

​

Plastic bags & films go in plastics recycling shed at the Orange Transfer Station and bins at local stores including Shop Rite, Big Y, Kohl's, Home Depot, Lowe's, and others.

​

Plastic bags gum up the sorting machinery and therefore must not be put in recycling bins. If you have recyclables gathered into a plastic bag - dump the items into the bin and put the bag aside to recycle separately (put in the Plastic Bags & Wraps shed at the Orange Transfer Station & Recycling Center or in designated bins at grocery and big box stores).
