More innovative recycling programs from our Best Practices contest. There are always questions as to how and where to recycle plastic film. Littleton has decided to add it to the materials they collect. Here is a quote from their contest entry: ![]()
"This year we introduced a plastic film recycling program. This allowed our residents to keep more plastics out of the waste stream. We are now capturing store bags, wood pellet bags, bubble wrap and various other film plastic products. Residents are very receptive to adding products to the recycling line up. We also work with a Co-op supermarket and a manufacturing company to capture their film plastic as well. Adding film to our list has meant more labor for the attendants but it has been profitable thus far. To date we have kept almost 20,000 lbs. of film out of the waste stream while earning $3,000 income and saved $700 in cost avoidance keeping it out of the landfill."![]()
Congratulations to the town of Littleton!
