Ziploc Bags are Recyclable!

Great news!  I spoke with Northwest Recycling in Bellingham, Washington this Monday and they confirmed that Ziploc bags are recyclable!  

"Should they be rinsed?"  Yes, it will help keep odors down.  “How do I recycle them?" Put them in your curbside recycling just as you do other plastics.

How easy is that?!  A big thank you to www.DandelionOrganic.com for tipping me off to this opportunity.


Here at The Easy Entree, we also minimize packaging waste by buying in large quantities.  For example, I buy chicken in 40 pound boxes.  Each box means 40 pounds of chicken that don't need styrofoam trays, white absorption pads, or shrink wrap that is considered necessary for consumers when they are buying in smaller quantities at the grocery store.  One large can of ketchup doesn't have the same environmental impact that six plastic ketchup bottles have, and so on.

By being able to recycle Ziploc bags, we have one more opportunity to minimize our impact on the environment.
