What kinds of plastic wrap and bags can be recycled?

#2 and #4 plastics can be recycled. This sort of plastic is softer and tears easily, and it tears in a wavy line. This includes pallet wrap, grocery bags, and bread bags, Ziplock bags (if you take the Ziplock off), and white trash bags.

#5 plastics CAN NOT be recycled. This includes thicker plastics that don't tear, or if they tear they tear in a straight line. This might be: crinkly plastic and the plastic around bundles of flowers and black trash bags. Saran wrap CAN NOT be recycled.

All plastics must be clean and dry to be recycled.
