CITY OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
Office of the Mayor
Thomas M. Menino
Boston’s new Recycling Clear Plastic Bags are now available at neighborhood stores
Mayor Menino asks residents to RECYCLING MORE! Keep the neighborhood clean, and do something good for the environment.
You can put all your recycling in the new Boston Recycling Clear Plastic Bag!
Residents will be receiving a sample of the City of Boston’s new recycling clear plastic bag at their home in early May.
Neighborhoods with houses densely packed together, have no room to store recycling bins or carts. Therefore, the City has allowed residents in these neighborhoods to put their bottles, cans, paper, and plastic containers in clear plastic bags.
Boston’s new recycling bags are now on sale at neighborhood stores.
Neighborhoods Allowed to Use Clear Plastic Bags for Recycling:
Back Bay Charlestown East Boston Roxbury
Bay Village Chinatown Fenway South Boston
Beacon Hill Downtown Mission Hill South End
North End West End
