RECYCLING AND REUSABILITY
Here are a couple of notes of interest regarding recycling plastic bags and the reusing of tote bags.
What is the number one item left in plastic bags that prevent them from being recycled?
gum
cigarette butts
receipts
food
Answer: 3-receipts.
I realized I was guilty of the offense more than once, and I now take the receipts out of the bags before recycling.
When taking those tote bags to the grocery store, whether they be pp non-woven or cotton or whatever, make sure you wash them on occasion. E-coli germs can pop up now and them. Throw them in the washing machine and hang them on the line to dry.
