Georgetown's Edward Tooke wondered the same thing and reached out to our newsroom to ask where he could take them locally for recycling. To find out more, we looked to the experts at Halton Region, which oper- ates the recycling program for all four local municipal- ities. HERE'S WHAT WE LEARNED: • The easiest way to recycle plastic grocery bags in Halton is actually in your household Blue Box. Clean, dry and empty plastic bags were added to the list of accepted materi- als in recent years and will be collected in the weekly recycling pickup. • Residents are en- couraged to bundle all plastic bags into one bag and tie it shut when recy- cling in the Blue Box to pre- vent them from blowing through the neighbour- hood on windy days. • Plastic shopping bags can also be dropped off for recycling (no cost) at the Halton Waste Manage- ment Site, located at 5400 Reg. Rd. 25, Milton. • In addition, certain Walmart stores accept plastic bags for recycling, such as the location in Georgetown Market Place. Call your local store to con- firm. • For further details on local recycling pro- grams visit halton.ca/ waste. Is there something you want an answer to related to a local issue?
