plastic film recovery program of their own. |
| Directory of Recyclers |
Our directory of recyclers, located in the business
section, includes buyers (i.e., end users), service
providers (i.e., haulers), and recycling drop off centers.
We created the directory to help commercial generators of
plastic film connect with recyclers who service their
geographic location. The database continues to grow as the
industry gains momentum. |

guide to help businesses design and implement a plastic film
recovery program with downloadable worksheets. Review the

recycling signage can be downloaded and helpful information can be found about the types
of equipment used in plastic film recovery and how to get it. |

you reach out to businesses in your area. One tip sheet is
geared towards commercial generators of scrap plastic film
and the others is geared towards haulers. You can find both
