Welcome to Recycle Your Plastic Bag

This web site is sponsored by Colorado Recycles, and is part of the Colorado Recycles portfolio of Colorado statewide recycling guides. This guide is dedicated to information about recycling plastic bags and plastic film. Colorado Recycles also sponsors a seasonal statewide Christmas tree recycling guide at http://www.recycleyourchristmastree.com/ which is extensively utilized by the media, the public, local governments and community service organizations.

In addition, Colorado Recycles sponsors the only Colorado specific statewide recycling guide. The Colorado Recycling Guide maintains information on 50 different materials and products, and currently has more than 2,100 recyclers listed. That Guide can be accessed through the main Colorado Recycles web site at http://www.colorado-recycles.org/main.html.

And, Colorado Recycles co-sponsors a web site with the Colorado Municipal League that is dedicated to maintaining information about municipal trash and curbside recycling programs throughout the state. That web site can be found at http://www.coloradocurbside.com/.

We have organized the data base for bag recycling by Colorado cities. Please use the menu function to access the Recycling Guide at the top of this page, and use the index of cities to select the community you are interested in. Simply click on that city (e.g., Alamosa) and all known plastic bag recyclers are listed within that city.

In addition, we have included out-of-state recyclers that have indicated that accept plastic bag from Colorado. Since plastic bags do not present any particular limitations for collection or shipping, some of these programs also include shipping packages.

We are under construction, so please let us know if there are any errors or ommissions in our data base.
