A little #FunFactFriday: do NOT bag your recycling! Putting your recycling in a bag is usually a one-way ticket to the trash. Workers at recycling facilities don't have time to empty the bags onto a moving conveyer belt. Put your recyclables directly in the bin to be collected!

Certain neighborhoods in Boston are an exception to this rule. Clear plastic recycling bags, sold at local retailers, may be allowed if you don't have enough space for a bin. Find information for your neighborhood: https://bit.ly/2YLQqcF

In general, plastic bags shouldn't go in the recycling bin at all. Not sure what to do with them? Take them to a drop-off location near you: https://bagandfilmrecycling.org/
