The best way to recycle your plastic bags and film is to bring them back to the grocery store. Just stuff them clean and dry into a single plastic bag, tie it up, and drop it into a plastic bag collection container found at these retail partners.
Plastic bags and film collected at grocery stores stay cleaner and are easier for recycling facilities to process than bags placed in your home recycling collection bin. The bags are turned into new products like decking, benches, playground structures, and new plastic bags. And remember to bring along your reusable bags when you shop.
The Bag your Bags, Bring 'em Back campaign is a partnership between the King County Solid Waste Division and local grocery stores to show the best way to recycle plastic bags.
