Inside <br />Emerald Ash Borer Information and <br />Resident Discount from Rainbow <br />Treecare <br />Living with Wildlife <br />Parks and Recreation: Touch-A- <br />Truck event <br />The Importance of Stormwater <br />Drainage <br />What to do with Plastic Bags <br />Arden Hills, MN . 55112-5734 <br />6 <br />Ever wonder what to do with the <br />extra plastic bags lying around <br />your home? <br />Plastic bags can accumulate <br />rapidly. Unfortunately, they are <br />not accepted in Republic Services <br />curbside recycling because they can <br />get caught in the sorting machines <br />at recycling facilities. Instead, we <br />recommend reusing plastic bags or <br />bringing them to a nearby drop-off <br />site. Most Cub Foods, Target, and <br />Walmart locations have recycling <br />receptacles for bags and other <br />plastic films. Please visit https:// <br />bagandfilmrecycling.org/ for a <br />drop-off directory. <br />Other items that can be brought <br />to the plastic film recycling drop- <br />off include pallet wrap, grocery <br />bags, bread bags, disposable water <br />bottles case overwrap, dry cleaning <br />bags, newspaper <br />sleeves, Ziplock and <br />other food storage <br />baggies, produce bags, <br />product wrap, cereal <br />box liners, air pillows, <br />and bubble wrap. Just <br />like plastic containers, <br />plastic bags are also <br />numbered based on the <br />type of plastic used. <br />Plastic bags labeled <br />with #1, #3, #5, #6, or <br />#7 cannot be recycled. <br />Before you take your plastic bags <br />to a drop-off location, please <br />remember the following: <br />•Make sure bags are clean and <br />dry. <br />•Do not include compostable or <br />degradable bags, pre-washed <br />salad bags, frozen food bags, <br />mulch bags or material that has <br />been painted or glued. <br />•Only bags labeled with #2 or #4 <br />(polyethylene) will be accepted <br />For more information, check out <br />RamseyRecycles.com or call 651- <br />633-3279.
