Can I use a plastic bag to place my recycling items in the blue recycling container?

No, do not use a plastic bag to place items into the blue recycling container. The items you place in the blue recycling container should be placed in the container loosely and not in a bag. The only exception to this is if you have shredded paper. Shredded paper should be placed in a brown paper bag (NOT plastic), then placed into the blue recycling container.
