That’s right folks! Costco, for whatever reason changed the tortilla strip chip bag from a perfectly recyclable bag to this piece of shit bag that you can’t recycle.

    You can’t recycle paper tainted with food oils. Or if it’s lined with plastic/wax. It gets sorted and dumped into the landfill. You can’t compost it either. Neither options are good unless it’s pure paper bag with no mixes plastic.

      Yeah, they should have gone to a rice or dextrin or CMC coated bag. Stuff that just dissolves in water.

      This right here. You couldn’t recycle this anyway. The list of what you can’t recycle is about 4 miles longer than what you can.
