Non-Recyclable
You can not recycle plastic bread bags and wraps through curbside recycling. They belong to a plastic category called “film”, which can get stuck in recycling machinery, making them hard to process. Lastly, breadcrumb residue is a recycling contamination hazard. Throw them in the trash.
