    We've reduced our use of plastic considerably, but we still end up with plastic packaging (the world is covered in plastic!). Anyone know where I can EASILY recycle plastic like this? Currently it's being stored in my garage.

      I recently got an awesome recycling ad from Waste Connections and it had this link for plastic films: https://www.plasticfilmrecycling.org/

      I'm so excited about it!!
