Did you know that Americans use 160,000 bags plastic bags per second? Plastic bags are a huge source of litter. They take hundreds of years to breakdown and produce harmful microplastics that contaminate our water supply and endanger the health of both humans and wildlife.
Plastic bags are easy to recycle! However, they can only be recycled a small number of times before the plastics’ quality degrades and cannot be reused. We hope to discourage the use of single-use plastics by providing you with a sustainable alternative: a canvas tote!
*Please note that Escambia Co. does not accept plastic bags in county issued recycling bins.
