Plastic Bag Recycling
Oro Loma customers can now recycle plastic shopping bags and other plastic bags in their All-in-One recycling carts by following these steps:
- Recycle clean, flexible, stretchable plastic bags, such as grocery, dry cleaning, sandwich, bread, and produce bags, along with bubble wrap and thin packing plastic used to hold bulk items and magazines.
- Gather loose bags and plastic wrap into one plastic bag and self-tie the bag. Do not use rubber bands, twist ties, or tape. Do not throw individual bags into the recycling carts, as they will blow away. Bags must be bundled.
- Deposit bundled bags into the recycling cart. Recycling plastic bags will help keep the 19 billion plastic grocery and merchandise bags used annually in California from ending up in landfills or in places that threaten the environment.
