Hello;
I have been informed by a reliable source within the industry that those bins marked "Recycle Plastic Bags here!" don't get recycled at all. It's cheaper for the chain (Safeway and Albertson's are the examples I was given) to simply throw them away, so that's what they do.
Obviously this is misleading and unethical, but is it illegal? Is there any recourse we can take or not so much.
