Texas to Begin Plastic Bag Recycling Program

14th February, 2011 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

ABJ had an article today that says that Texas will become the third state with a plastic bag recycling program, which is in conjunction with the national “A bag’s life” program. The article says:

In Texas, the program entails about 1,800 retail drop-off locations. An introduction to the recycling program will be held at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in the agricultural museum at the Texas Capitol, which is on the first floor of the West Wing.

The program uses social media to get the word out about plastic bag recycling, It has a website www.abagslife.com for more details, and a smartphone app helps consumers locate the nearest place to drop off used plastic bags.

Austin already has many spots you can take your used plastic bags – HEB is my usual choice because I’m there so often.  Look for a big bin at the enterance of any major grocery store for plastic bag recycling.
