Ecomaine has recently announced that it will no longer accept #2 and #4 plastic shopping/trash bags. The recycling technology has not been able to separate these bags from the paper and cardboard waste stream. The consequences include downtime for recycling conveyor line, lost work time, and contamination of other recyclable materials.  Also please don't place your recyclabes at the curb in trash bags as these are not acceptable either. 

Ecomaine recommends residents decrease use of these bags, return these bags to the point of purchase, or include them in their orange garbage bags.  Copy of Ecomaine annoucement regarding plastic bags.
