UPDATE: Plastic Diversion Program CHANGES
The city of Tucson has partnered with Hefty ReNew orange bag program and ByFusion. Acceptable types of plastic have changed: Styrofoam packaging; foam peanuts, foam egg cartons, for example can go in the orange bag. Plastic grocery bags should be recycled at the grocery store. Because our area is outside the city limits, you should check with your trash hauling service. Here's a link to Waste Management's recycling requirements:
