Plastic bags, wraps, and film of any color, size, or shape are not accepted in Sonoma’s curbside recycling cart (the blue cart). These items are referred to as “tanglers” because they clog the machinery used to process recyclable materials. Each day, plastic bags must be removed by hand.
To bring awareness to this issue, The City of Sonoma and Sonoma Garbage Collectors are kicking off a “no plastic bags in recycling” campaign. To start, Sonoma Garbage Collectors is placing “no plastic bags in recycling” labels on blue recycling containers to serve as a visual reminder, clarifying what types of plastic bags and film are not allowed in the city’s blue recycling cart, and sharing best practices.
