Where Else Could It Go?
EMPTY and CLEAN flexible plastic food packages like snack bar wrappers can be placed in an orange Hefty® ReNew® bag. FirstStar Recycling offers a special program to collect hard-to-recycle plastics in our community. To participate, you can purchase orange Hefty® ReNew® bags, 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.

The Hefty® ReNew® program and list of accepted materials may vary by location due to end processing capabilities. Information and guidelines for the Nebraska-specific program may be found at this link:
