To ensure HM liner bags are properly recycled, it’s essential to follow these guidelines:
- Clean and Dry: Recyclable bags must be clean and dry. Bags that are contaminated with food, chemicals, or other substances may not be accepted for recycling and could end up in landfills.
- Avoid Mixing with Non-Recyclables: Not all plastic bags are recyclable, especially those made from mixed materials (e.g., bags with foil linings). Mixing these with HM liner bags can cause issues in recycling facilities.
- Drop-Off at Appropriate Facilities: While some curbside programs accept HDPE bags, others may require you to take them to designated recycling centers or supermarkets that collect plastic bags for recycling.
