plastic bag recycle

In case you miss it, I certainly did, there is a barrel for plastic bags at the Met on Vanderbilt. Its right at the front entrance, right behind the shopping baskets. I couldn't find one at the C-Town on Washington. Wish there were more spots for recycling in the neighborhood.

Any suggestions?

Walk Lucy for us and you'll never have a build-up of plastic bags.

Not exactly "recycling" the bag. But thanks for the suggestion!

omg... that song will be in my head forever. But I refuse to do that jiggle dance.

yeah-uh

Just noticed the Park Slope Food Coop changed their recycling, which happens 3x month on the sidewalk in front of the store and is available to everyone.

Plastic Recycling
Bring clean, dry plastic to the Coop's sidewalk during monthly recycling hours. We close up promptly. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the collection end time to allow for inspection and sorting of your plastic:

2nd Sat., 10 AM-2 PM
3rd Thur., 7 PM-9 PM
Last Sun., 10 AM-2 PM.


As of 2/16/09 and until further notice, we collect....

* #1 transparent plastics (Labels OK. Mouth is wide or wider than the body, meaning NOT bottles.)
* #5 plastic tubs, cups & specifically marked lids and caps. Must be especially clean and dry. (Discard any with paper labels, or cut the labels off.)
* Plastic film and bubble wrap. 100% transparent only -- must be able to see through the plastic. No colored or opaque. No paper labels. Minimal writing OK.

All the above must be brought to the Coop CLEAN AND DRY.

Note: We are no longer accepting #2 or #4 type plastics. >br>
These changes result from a significant decline in the worldwide market for recyclable materials that has affected recycling programs everywhere. Please be patient and cooperate with us as we adjust to these changes, as well as to any further changes that may be necessary.

We are currently updating our literature and will make new fliers available as soon as possible.
