When it comes to recycling in Tucson, the color of your bag matters.The City of Tucson recently revamped its Hard to Recycle program, requiring residents to use specific orange Hefty bags for their plastic and Styrofoam waste. The initiative, designed to reduce contamination, has faced challenges as many participants are not complying with the new guidelines.
”The city made the switch to reduce contamination, which previously included non-recyclable items such as metals and toys. Alyssa Tarpley, public information specialist for the city's Environmental and General Services Department, emphasized the importance of using the correct bags. “We’re requiring these materials to be in the orange bag because we were seeing a lot of contamination,” she said.
