What we can't recycle

Not all plastic is plastic film. If it crinkles loudly, tears like paper, has a metallic lining, or is dirty — it's not for us. Keep these out of your bin.

✕Frozen food bags ✕Chip bags ✕Candy wrappers ✕Pet food bags ✕Net produce bags ✕Shiny metallic film ✕Boat wrap ✕Floral wrap ✕Compostable bags ✕Film with food residue ✕Wet or dirty plastic ✕Plastic that tears like paper ✕Crinkly foil pouches

The quick test: if it makes a loud crinkly sound when scrunched, or feels stiff and won’t stretch — put it in the trash.
