Film is recyclable but does not sort well in the Hamm Material Recovery Facility (MRF) that serves Lawrence. Film can be recycled in Lawrence grocery and specialties stores such as Checkers, Dillons, Hy-Vee, Kohl’s, Target, The Merc, and Walmart. Dillons makes deck planks with recycled film and accepts film of all types.

The 12th and Haskell Recycle Center accepts metal, chipboard, cardboard, magazine, and newspaper, and are the only local business that recycles appliances and scrap metal. Sorry for my error.
