WHAT WE TAKE

If it looks and feels like plastic and you can't put it in the blue bin, we can repurpose it into a ByBlock!

Plastic films

Plastic films are used to wrap and cover items such as packages, mail, food (bread, cereal, etc), clothes, durable goods, and other common items to protect them. Plastic film is also used to make plastic bags.
