When you put your recyclable items in a bag, they will all go to the landfill. Recyclers get thousands of pounds of recycling per day and do not have the staff or time to open bags of materials. Plus, plastic bags get tangled in recycling sorting equipment and have to be cut out which is very dangerous for sanitation workers. Keep materials loose! If you bag your recyclables in the house, empty the contents of the bag at your cart and reuse the bag.
