Plastic film is commonly used in Labs. Clean film plastics such as shopping bags, deflated airbags from shipped packages, and shrink wrap can be consolidated and brought to the CHaRM. They can also be placed in the appropriate container at most supermarkets, or placed in a Bag the Bag bin in most UGA Housing residence halls.
Film plastics should never go in single-stream recycling bins.
UGA Facilities Management Division provides recycling removal services for #2 and #4 film plastic for participating UGA Athens departments that opt into this program. Participants are responsible for material collection, preventing contamination, and requesting removal.
