Where Else Could It Go?
EMPTY and CLEAN plastic wrappers from food and candy can be placed in an orange Hefty® ReNew® bag.
FirstStar Recycling offers this special program to collect hard-to-recycle plastics in our community. To participate, you can purchase orange Hefty® ReNew® bag, which will be collected through your existing curbside and drop-off site services. When filled with accepted materials and tied shut, the bright orange Hefty® ReNew® bag is the ONLY bag that can be placed in a curbside recycling cart or drop-off site container.

Tip: If the wrapper tears like paper or looks like waxed paper, place it the garbage.
