Film plastics — like grocery bags and bubble wrap — cannot go into curbside bins, but they can be recycled at Dexter Township Hall! Recycling film plastic keeps it out of landfills, reduces pollution, and supports a cleaner and more sustainable community. Here at Dexter Township, you can drop your film plastic in the orange bin in the parking lot. Please remember to clean out any dirty bags beforehand and please make sure all plastic bags are bundled inside one bag before recycling! Thank you! This helps our volunteers that are involved in the film plastic project!
The items that are accepted are as follows: potting and garden soil bags (please rinse out first), grocery, ice, bread, dry cleaning, and Ziplock bags, cereal box liners and newspaper sleeves, bubble wrap and plastic mailers.
The items that are not accepted are as follows: frozen food bags, candy wrapper bags, chip bags, mesh produce bags, pet food and feed bags, salad mix bags, six pack rings, pool covers, silage and hay bags, vinyl shower curtains, bedding or linen packaging.
Styrofoam can also be recycled near Dexter Township on Sundays at the Dexter Mill from noon-2:00pm!
