SHRINK WRAP

This material is not locally accepted by curbside programs, the transfer stations, or Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) they transport to. Plastic wrap can contaminate other recyclables and even shut down entire recycling lines when they get tangled up in star screens and other machinery.

Overall, it’s considered a very low value plastic that not many recyclers are interested in… unless they can get it source separated, in large volumes, and uncontaminated by other materials.
