    FAQ Paragraph Text

    FAQs

    What materials can be recycled?

    Commonly recycled materials include paper, cardboard, glass, metal cans, and certain types of plastics. The specific plastics that are recyclable often depend on local recycling facilities, but typically include bottles and containers with certain recycling codes. It’s important to check with your local recycling guidelines for specifics.

    Can I recycle plastic bags?

    Plastic bags generally cannot be recycled through regular curbside recycling programs because they can get tangled in the machinery at recycling facilities. However, many grocery stores and retail outlets offer specialized recycling bins for plastic bags and film. It’s best to return them to these collection points for proper recycling.
