Why can't I bag my recyclables?

Plastic bags can easily get caught in recycling sorting machine gears. Simply place loose recyclables directly into your curbside recycling bin or a drop-off bin. Plastic bags are 100% recyclable if done correctly. Please be sure to recycle your plastic bags at a Bring Me Back location near you.
