Not music related but we know many musicians are into recycling. We came across this website recently and the video that accompanies it is very informative: Plastics: What’s Recyclable, What Becomes Trash and Why: Plastic bags — like those used for bread, newspapers and as cereal box liners, as well as sandwich bags, dry cleaning bags and grocery bags — create similar problems for recycling machinery as thin plastic film. However, bags and wrappers, like those that come around paper towels, can be returned to the grocery store for recycling.
