Loose soft plastic and bagged recyclable items can get tangled in recycling machinery, which is why we always ask our residents to not bag recyclable items normally.
The orange pilot bags are designed for easy identification. When filled and sealed correctly, the bags can be easily separated from other recyclable items and will not get caught in the machinery.
It’s very important to keep all other items in your yellow lidded recycling bin loose (not bagged) as you usually do.
