Bubble Wrap

Film plastics should NOT be put in household recycling bins and should only be put in designated film plastics collection bins at participating retail stores. The NYS Plastic Bag Reduction, Reuse and Recycling Act requires larger retail stores, including most grocery stores, to make film plastic collection bins available so consumers can recycle their clean and dry film plastics.

Film plastic (including bubble wrap) requires special recycling in order to be turned into new materials. Learn more: www.plasticfilmrecycling.org/ or visit DEC’s webpage about film plastic recycling to learn more.

Drop off film plastics at your local grocery store, home improvement center, big box store, etc.
