Starting November 15th, 2023, Millennium will strictly enforce the "No Bags" policy, sending all empty and full plastic bags in the single stream (except for shredded paper in clear bags) to the landfill.
Plastic film and bags cause significant issues, damaging equipment and contaminating recyclables. Our new robots can automatically remove bags, saving labor and time while ensuring program affordability and viability.
Please educate your customers to stop bagging recycling, as it WILL negatively impact recycling weights if bagging continues. Communication templates and tools are available to assist you in the
"No Bags - Communication Tools" on our hauler resources
page. Thank you for your support and partnership in this effort!
