Single-use plastic bags disrupt Toledoans' recycling efforts
OBERLIN, Ohio — Many Toledo residents are used to tossing plastic bags into their blue recycling bins and then forgetting about them. But Dan Schoewe, the operations manager of Republic Services’ Oberlin Recycling Center, doesn’t have that luxury. The plant he runs is the destination for everything Toledoans throw into their curbside recycling cans — whether it’s really recyclable or not. “Perhaps one of the biggest impediments to successful recycling is the tendency of many people to throw stuff into a blue container and simply assume that it will be recycled somehow,” he said. “People frequently put things in recycling bins that can’t be recycled, ranging from plastic bags to bowling balls.” Mr. Schoewe refers to such people as “wishful recyclers” who assume that if they throw something into a blue bin, Republic Services will somehow find a way to recycle it. But that’s not the case.“Know what to throw,” he advises. “And when in doubt, throw it out.”
