Some residents have been placing their recycled materials in plastic bags. The county does not want plastic bags in the blue cart because it gets caught in the machinery. This is from the website:
Plastic bags, packaging wrap, tarps, and film of any type are NOT recyclable in your blue cart. All recyclables should be placed in your blue cart loosely – not bagged. Plastic bags can be reused for other purposes around your home, recycled at your local grocery store, or disposed of in your grey cart.
