Are you surprised that Walmart accepts all of these plastic for recycling?

This was major to me The following plastics can be dropped off at Walmart for recycling. It includes Ziplock bags and dry cleaning bags! I got this information straight from a chat with a Walmart rep through the Walmart website.

This is the plastic you can drop-off:
plastic shopping bags (from any store — remove receipts, etc.)
food packaging (Ziploc-type bags) !
bread bags
plastic liners from cereal boxes (do not include if they tear like paper)
produce bags
dry cleaning bags (remove staples, receipts, hangars.)
plastic newspaper wrapping
product wrapping (such as covers a case of water bottles, etc.)!
bubble wrap and air pillows (popped)
plastic shipping envelopes (remove labeling)

And these are the ones that need to go into the trash
frozen food bags
cereal box liners that tear like paper
biodegradable bags
pre-washed salad bags
candy bar wrappers
chip bags
six-pack rings I don’t understand this one. I virtually never have those around and when I do I cut them up before I put them in the trash….I don’t understand why they couldn’t go into the recycle.

Next I’m trying to track down how they recycle the plastic, what the physical process is. They’re hooking me up with our local store for that. I’ll get more information when it comes in.
