Pennsylvania township joins pilot program to recycle flexible plastic
TotalRecycling Inc., a division of JP Mascaro & Sons, will process the plastic at its Birdsboro plant in Berks County.
Palmer Township will join a handful of communities in the United States that will soon accept flexible plastic waste in its curbside recycling bins, reports WFMZ.com.
Starting May 1, Palmer residents can begin to include flexible plastic, such as bags for groceries, potato chips, cereal and more in their bins. TotalRecycling Inc., a division of Audubon, Pennsylvania-based JP Mascaro & Sons, will process the plastic at its Birdsboro plant in Berks County.
Single-use plastic that would have gone into landfills or perhaps wound up in the ocean will instead become material for decks, walkways and playground surfaces. “These are items that used to be considered contamination,” Cindy Oatis, Palmer’s recycling coordinator, said April 5 after a township board of supervisors meeting.
