Recycle or Not? Plastic Padded Envelopes and Mailers
When you put something in the recycling bin that isn’t approved, it can cause recycling problems here in Oregon and around the world. Frosted Poly Bag
One item causing problems at our local recycling facilities is plastic-padded envelopes. This includes paper envelopes lined with bubble wrap, and plastic mailers. You should never put these items in your recycling bin.
There is good news, though! Once all labels and stickers are removed, clean and dry all-plastic padded envelopes can be dropped off with your plastic bags at your local grocery store for recycling. Learn more at Plastic Film Recycling.
