Can you recycle your recyclables in plastic bags?

No! Please put your recyclables in your curbside bin or drop-off at the Recycling Center or Ponderosa Landfill in loose. You can put your recyclables in plastic or paper bags to transport, but empty out your bags into the bin and throw away your plastic bag. Plastic bags are considered a contaminate and can cause damage / harm to recycling machinery and/or workers.
