The Bag-2-Bag® program makes plastic bag recycling easy for residents of participating municipalities. While program specifics may vary according to individual city or town plans, the basics remain the same.

During the week, collect your used plastic grocery bags, dry cleaning bags and plastic retail bags in a designated plastic collection bag. On trash pickup day, place your collected bag of bags with your other curbside recyclables and they will take it from there.

Residential partnerships
Bag-2-Bag® residential recycling of plastic bags is an important partnership between Hilex, waste management companies, and municipalities. You can see how residential Bag-2-Bag® recycling is already making a difference in our success stories. Municipalities and waste management companies that are looking to expand curbside recycling to include plastic bags can contact our "Bag-2-Bag® Recycling" team via our email form.

Protect your local environment
Hilex wants to better utilize our natural resources and protect our environment. Bag-2-Bag® can help reduce waste and litter on our streets, waterways, and beaches.

Clean up your act
In addition to residential recycling, in-store Bag-2-Bag® recycling is also available to merchants and businesses that use plastic bags.

Until everyone has easy access to Bag-2-Bag® recycling, you can still help our environment by responsibly using plastic bags. See our Environmentally responsible bagging page for better ways to use and reuse plastic bags.
