1. DO recycle clean grocery, dry cleaning, and newspaper bags.
Clean plastics bags can be easily recycled, don’t be afraid to put them in your recycling bin instead of in the trash.
2. DO stuff multiple plastic bags into one to prevent them from flying away and causing litter or clo gg ing the recycling machinery.
3. DO put long-cut shredded paper in a clear bag with your recycling.
The paper will be recycled right along with the bag. If you have tiny confe tti-like paper, you can put that in your food and yard cart.
4. DO put out extra recycling next to your cart in a paper bag or cardboard box if your cart is full.
Don’t be tempted to throw your extra recycling in the tr ash, it’ll get picked up just fine if it’s all together.
5. DON’T toss a bag full of random recyclable items into the recycling cart.
That’s the easiest way to slow down recycling centers. The workers at the recycling facility can’t see what’s inside the bag to easily sort them. Empty the bag into the recycling cart instead.
6. DO put frozen food, produce, bread, and Zi ploc-type bags in the garbage.
Even if tey’re clean, those kinds of bags can have bits of food and moisture in them that ruins their recyclability. Feel guilty about throwing them away? Donate them to a local dog park or reuse them.
7. DO use a plastic bag to line your garbage can.It helps keep odors in, pemsts out and the neighborhood clean of litter.
8. DO double-bag your pet’s doo-doo.
Be polite, it’s the kind thing to do.
9. DO use uncoated paper bags and compostable kitchen scrap bags to store and carry food scraps to your cart.

10. DON’T put plastic bags in your food and yard waste cart.
It can ruin the compost.
11. DON’T put biodegradable bags in your food and yard cart. Biodegradable does not necessarily mean compostable. Some biodegradable bags require heat and moisture beyond compostable bags to break down.
12. DON’T put compostable pet waste bags in your food and yard cart. Don’t even use compostable pet waste bags, as pet waste belongs in the garbage and compostable bags only turn into compost at compost facilities.
At the Store
Plastic carryout bags are banned in Seattle. Large paper bags are available at stores for a nicke l. You can still get plastic produce bags, smaller paper bags or thick, reusable plastic bags at many retailers.
