Green for Life (GFL) Environmental has announced that local residents can once again place glass containers and plastic bags in single-stream recycling bins.
The company said earlier this year that it could no longer accept those materials in recycling bins due to changes in China鈥檚 National Sword Program. According to a GFL statement released at the time, other companies were affected as well.
But in a news release issued on Tuesday, GFL said it has been able to secure an alternative for those materials, allowing people to place plastic bags and glass containers in their single-stream recycling bins, effective immediately.
