Can I recycle my plastic bags at City Hall?

No, you may not recycle plastic bags at City Hall, for now. The initiative is on hold because the facility where we drop off the plastic bags is still closed. When we are able, we will once again allow plastic bags to be recycled at City Hall, and we will make that information known.

What do I do with my plastic bags in the meantime?

For now, you may want to repurpose your plastic bags. There are many different ways to repurpose plastic bags to create useful household items.

What about other recyclable items?

If you have questions or concerns about whether other household items are recyclable, please see our Waste Wizard. Simply type the name of a waste item into the search box and the Waste Wizard will tell you how to recycle or dispose of it.
