More acceptable recycling

There is a new bin in the recycling shed that accepts "Other Flexible Plastic Packaging". This covers a lot of ground. An illustrated list can be found at: https://recyclebc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Material-List_Other-Flexible-Plastic-Packaging.pdf

It includes things like: Other Flexible Plastic Packaging are types of film and flexible plastics that often include multiple layers of different types of plastic, making it more difficult to recycle. Examples of Other Flexible Plastic Packaging include: stand-up and zipper lock pouches, like pouches for granola, frozen berries, etc.; crinkly wrappers and bags, like coffee bags, or chip bags; flexible packaging with plastic seal, like packaging for fresh pasta or pre-packaged deli meats; non-food protective wrap like bubble wrap or plastic envelopes; and net bags for onions, avocados, lemons, etc.
