Can I Recycle Plastic Bags in the Recycling Bin?
The City of Dubuque reminds customers that plastic bags/wraps/films are NOT acceptable items to be placed in your recycling bin and/or cart. As an alternative, many grocery stores and retailers in our community now offer plastic bag recycling. For a complete list of acceptable items to place in recycling bins, trash, and food/yard waste, use the "Waste Wizard" in the REThink Waste DBQ app (more information below.)
