Plastic Bags


Burrillville participates in RIRRC’s Operation Restore.  Operation Restore is a FREE program designed to recycle plastic grocery bags, shopping bags, dry cleaning bags, and other types of plastic bags.  If you can easily stretch the plastic bag with your thumb, it can go in the Restore container.  The following are some examples:

  • All shopping bags
  • Dry cleaning bags
  •  Newspaper bags
  •  Bread bags
  •  Bagel bags
  •  Paper towel and toilet paper overwrap
  •  Produce bags
  •  Mattress bags
  •  Shrink wrap from cases of beverages
  •  Electronic overwrap 

Residents may dispose of their plastic bags by tying them in a knot and bringing them to the Restore Container located at Brigido’s IGA on Sayles Avenue in Pascoag.
