i know plastic film is supposed to be recycled differently, but what happens when people unknowingly put it in their recycle bins
In: Other
Our recycling/garbage company actually put out a flier about this
plastic film and plastic bags are terrible for their sorting machines, jamming or slowing the machines and have to be removed bit by bit, so each plastic bag coming in has to be handled by hand. They either throw the whole bag it into the garbage completely, or pull out what’s in the bag.
They really wanted to make it clear it messes up their machines, glad they did, I was carrying my recycling in garbage bags. I do believe there are special recyclable bags that can be used as well
