Skip the Bag; Set Your Recyclables Free!

What's the best thing you can do to help the recycling effort????  It's so easy..and it will save you money! Just STOP placing your recyclables in plastic bags!  Plastic bags wreak havoc on recycling machines. One single bag can get caught in the gears and shut down an entire processing plant for hours.  

The DC Department of Public Works asks that you place your recyclables directly into the bin - no plastic bags needed.  If you have bags to recycle, take them to your local grocery store and place them in their bins.

Set your recycling free!  Skip the bag!!
