Question:

Where can I recycle plastics numbered 4?

Where can I find information on recycling number 4 plastics in my area? The local recycling center does not accept it.

Answer:

There's a place in Pottstown called Recycling Services, Inc. that takes all numbers, except 7. They also take old electronics, glass, metal, styrofoam peanuts, and some yard sale items. They also sell items made from recycled things. Address: 365 Elm Street, Pottstown, PA 19465 They will ask for a $5 donation per car when you enter. Great place to take all your recycleables!
Plastic grocery bags Type 2 (high-density polyethylene film - HDPE) and Type 4 (low density or linear-low density polyethylene film - LDPE/LLDPE) can be recycled at your local supermarket and other locations. Once the bags are recycled, they are made into lumber, trashcan liners or plastic bags.
