Quick Reference Guide to the Expanded Source Separation Law for Plastics:
Starting June 1, 2011, plastics 3 through 7 will be added to Westchester County’s list of mandated recyclables. Recyclable plastics include food, beverage, detergent and shampoo containers and caps, which should be rinsed clean before going in the recycling bin. With the expansion of the County’s Source Separation Law, all Westchester residents, businesses, schools and institutions alike will be required to separate for recycling all empty plastic containers marked with the triangular chasing arrows symbol and coded with a number 1 through 7 in the center, with the exception of items listed below.
Don’t include the following plastic items: Plastic bags, all plastic film (e.g. dry cleaning bags and packaging materials), vinyl
Unmarked or non-coded plastics (e.g. toys, clothing hangers, tableware and utensils)
Large rigid plastics (e.g. toys and furniture)
Plastic foam (e.g. hot beverage cups, trays and packaging materials)
Containers that may have held hazardous materials (e.g. motor oil, solvents and pesticides)
Building materials (e.g. pvc piping and bathroom and kitchen fixtures)
About Plastic Bags: Be advised that plastic grocery and carryout bags, as well as other plastic bags (including dry cleaning bags) may be dropped off at any of several large grocery and retail stores for recycling. Each year, Americans throw away more than 100 billion plastic bags. Less than 1% is recycled. Recycling these bags reduces waste and litter, resulting in cleaner streets and waterways. In addition, using recycled plastic bags in place of virgin plastics reduces our demand for foreign oil. Recycled plastic bags provide valuable material to manufacturers of plastic lumber, plastic bags and other useful products. For more information on plastic bag recycling and drop off locations, visit: http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/50034.html.
Try and be mindful of ways to reduce our waste as by using durable and reusable bags and by giving away items we no longer need.
Apart from the plastic carry out bags covered by the law, can I recycle any other plastic bags in my store's recycling bins?
Yes. Most stores will also accept the following materials (check with your store for details):
Plastic retail bags with string ties and rigid plastic handles removed
Plastic newspaper bags
Plastic dry-cleaning bags
Plastic produce bags with all food residue removed
Plastic bread bags with all food residue removed
Plastic cereal bags with all food residue removed
Plastic frozen food bags with all food residue removed
Plastic wrap from paper products (paper towels, etc)
Plastic stretch/shrink wrap with all food residue removed
Plastic zipper-type bags with plastic closing mechanism removed
(Note: All materials must be clean and dry)
BUT These Items Can Not be Recycled With Plastic Bags:

Plastic soil or mulch bags
