Where can I recycle plastics?

Question

I live in Philadelphia, Port Richmond section, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can take plastics to recycle them? Is there anywhere to take the plastic bags?
Thanks!

Answer 1

In my area, North Jersey, many food stores have recycle bins for the #2, HDPE, bags by the entrance to the store. Try there for the bags.

Check with city hall in Philly or use the site below for more info.

Answer 2

If you have goodwill stores, or church mission stores in your area, they can often reuse the bags . Also road side stands, or the city markets can often reuse them if they are undamaged.
