How to Recycle Plastic Bags: A Little Effort Goes a Long Way November 27, 2016 Email 11-27-2016 Did you know that plastic bags are actually recyclable? Yes, they are! While we do not accept plastic bags in the curbside program, many grocery stores collect them for recycling. A plastic bag recycled today can become tomorrow’s plastic lumber or even a new plastic bag. Remember, it’s better to recycle plastic bags than to throw them in the trash, because it’s easy for them to blow away at the landfill and become litter in the local environment and waterways. Stores that often accept plastic bags for recycling include Raley’s, Safeway, Save Mart, Target, Walmart, WinCo and Whole Foods.
