Millburn residents can begin donating towards a recycling goal that if met, will result in the collection and recycling of tens of thousands of items, as well as a freebie from the company behind the drive. A town-wide plastic film recycling challenge kicked off in Millburn Monday, March 15. Township residents can participate by helping to collect a total of 500lbs of plastic film waste over a six month period. That amount equates to about 40,500 bags.
The materials accepted for the collection drive include grocery bags, bread bags, bubble wrap, dry cleaning bags, newspaper sleeves, ice bags, plastic shipping envelopes, resealable food storage bags, cereal bags, case overwraps, salt bags, pallet wrap, stretch film, wood pellet bags and produce bags.
All plastic donated to the drive must be clean, dry and free of food residue. Residents are urged to avoid bringing plastic bottles to the collection bins.
