REUSABLE DRY CLEANING BAGS
In the U.S., more than 1.4 billion pieces of clothing are dry-cleaned each year, and over 300 million pounds of plastic waste are generated just to protect and transport garments with these single-use bags!
Make the simple and easy switch from disposable to reusable garment bags. Many dry cleaners in town will give clients a reusable bag upon request. Or they are offered for sale by companies, such as The Green Garmento.
Plastic dry cleaning bags are no longer an accepted recyclable in Greenwich. Do NOT place them in your household recycling. They are difficult to sort and can jam or damage the machinery at the City Carting Recycling Center.
However, they are currently accepted at the special collection container at Holly Hill or at certain retail or grocery stores.
