Recycling can not be collected if placed within plastic bags. 
Single stream recyclables collected curbside must be placed “loose” into your recycling can. Plastic bags hamper sorting efficiency and damage processing equipment. Due to foreign market regulations, shipments containing plastic bags are deemed unmarketable and rejected.
Plastic Bags should be returned to local supermarkets as they are recycled by the store.
Remember, place rinsed food container cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles/jars (the neck of the plastic being smaller than the base of the plastic), newspapers, corrugated cardboard, magazines, catalogs, junk mail, paperback books, and empty non-toxic aerosol cans only, into your recycling can loose – do not place recyclables in any type of bag.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
