Can I recycle Plastic film wrap?

Plastic film is a type of soft plastic that is difficult to sort out and can easily get tangled in sorting machines. Unless you live in one of the rare locations that accept this material, you should never place this type of plastic in your curbside bins, but it is able to be recycled with plastic bags at designated drop-off locations.
