Plastic bag recycling is a bit more difficult. Google helps with the job. There is info about plastic bag ratings (1-4), but there is research required to see what or what not can be recycled.
Does anyone have any real good solutions for plastic bag or wrap recycling?
If we can find reasonable recycling for soft plastics (wrap, etc), then obtaining a high recycle percentage should be very attainable for households.
Eco.cycle has very good information. Spend some time on their website to see what works for your household recycling plan.
King Soopers has promise, but more research is required.
Feedback is greatly appreciated on this topic. Thanks.
In Lakewood, Colorado we are fortunate to have many options when it comes to recycling. Besides the City of Lakewood, we also have the Rooney Road Cycling Center for hazardous household materials, and much more…
Key recycling areas: a) Hazmart. b) Yard waste, c) Seasonal.
Generally there is a cost for Rooney Road Recycling Center, but it is well worth it. You can recycle dirt from your year, when you replace clay soil with good planting soil. Otherwise, you need to rent a big ugly bin and have it in your yard for days. Personally, I’ll go for physical labor and a pickup truck run to Rooney Road.
