Question of the Week
Film plastic is not accepted in campus or curbside recycling. Name three locations in Corvallis where you can take film plastic to be recycled.
Answer
In Corvallis, film plastic may be taken to the Republic Services Depot, as well as several grocery stores, including: Fred Meyer, Safeway, Grocery Outlet, and Winco.
Film plastic is the soft, stretchable plastic used for grocery bags and shrink wrap. Make sure that the film plastic is clean if you plan to recycle it.
This type of plastic is separately collected due to the damages it can cause to machinery at Material Recovery Facilities. Read more about this on our Recycling Mythbusters blog post.
And congratulations to Geoffrey Somnitz on Facebook, and Kit Arbogast here on the blog, for winning this week’s Question! Keep up the great work.

And thanks for participating!
