Non-Recyclable

You can not recycle plastic potato chip bags through curbside recycling. They contain multiple plastic, aluminum, and paper layers, which can not be separated. Also, chip residue is a contamination hazard. Throw them in the garbage bin or look for a bag-specialized drop-off location.
