The Jenkintown Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) would like to remind Borough residents to not place plastic bags or bubble wrap in their recycling bin. Jenkintown does not recycle any plastic bags, even those with a recycle symbol on them. Many supermarkets and retail stores will collect the plastic bags to recycle for you. You can call the store ahead of time and ask if they have a recycling receptacle for bags prior to going. Or, alternatively, you can place them in your trash can. The EAC has included a few links below for those who would like to read about why we do not recycle plastic bags.
