Great reminder from @RecycleRightNY that bioplastics and compostable plastics do NOT belong in the recycling bin! Swipe to find out why.
Bioplastics generally go in the trash. If you are serviced by a composting company, check their list of acceptable items before putting something labeled as compostable plastic in your compost.
