Taking a stroll through your grocery store aisles can be a real plastic film experience. Many vegetables, deli meats, cheeses, and snack foods are wrapped or bagged in this illustrious packaging. Plastic films enable our foods to maintain good shelf life, transport better, and to showcase best. Unfortunately, good, better, best comes with one big negative: tons of this plastic film ends up in our landfills! (more…)

Check to see if your municipality offers curbside pick up for plastic wraps and films. If not, collect your used plastic wraps and films and drop them off at the nearest recycling station which accepts them. When possible, store your foods in reusable containers. Most plastic and glass reusable containers are recyclable. Help keep plastic out of our landfills. -R.G.
