It's in the Bag
It's in the Bag is a plastic bag and film recycling program of Minnesota Waste Wise. It's in the Bag provides consumers the opportunity to recycle unwanted plastic bags at participating retail locations. The program also provides employment for adults with disabilities, who collect and sort the plastic material in It's in the Bag participating communities.
Consumers may deposit clean and dry plastic bags in specially designed It's in the Bag collection bins found at participating retail locations. Work crews from various vocational centers around the state collect and transport the material to a processing facility where additional work crews sort and bale the material. The material is then shipped to Trex Company, Inc. where it is recycled into composite lumber used in the construction of decks and railings.
