No Plastic Bags in the Blue Cart

The Solid Waste Management Department no longer accepts plastic bags in the blue recycling cart, not even if they are bundled. We recommend that customer shop with their own reusable bags or take them back to the retailer. This applies also to thin plastic film such as dry cleaner bags and shrink wrap packaging.
