News Brief: Recycling reminder

Posted on December 6, 2007 by Staff

Plastic bags cannot be recycled in Orange County, and cause serious problems with recycling collections.

Plastic bags jam compacting equipment which hurts productivity and increases the risk of employee injury and equipment damage. Residents should not place plastic bags in curbside bins, recycling carts at apartment complexes or at drop-off sites. Clean, dry and empty plastic bags can be recycled at most local grocery stores.
