Somerville Bans Plastic Recycling
Prior to the announcement that supermarket could no longer collect and recycle plastics, Somerville dropped the bomb that plastics can no longer be surrendered for recycling. Apparently, the problem cause by plastic in the recycling process is the culprit and from hereon, alternative means of disposing or making use of plastics seems to be needed.
A drop in the price of recycled plastic caused the changes at the curb – or, to be accurate, enforced the changes. Casella Waste Systems Inc., the city’s recycling contractor, never did accept plastic bags, said Sean Murphy, Somerville’s director of constituent services.
Some residents used them anyway to store extra bottles and cans. Casella employees simply shook the contents out of the bags, which can tangle up the machines.
