Hard to Recycle Plastics Orange Bin

The City of Tucson's Orange Bin or Hard to Recycle Plastics Program, in partnership with ByFusion. This is a voluntary program that gives participating residents a way to collect plastics that are not accepted as loose items in the curbside blue recycle bin. This variety of plastics is diverted from the landfill to be converted into valued resources. 

How Can I Get Started? 

1. Purchase Hefty ReNew orange bags at participating Tucson Ace Hardware, Bashas, Frys, Target and Walmart stores.
2. Collect hard-to-recycle plastics in the bag.
3. Bring your full, tied bags to the orange roll-off drop off sites.
4. The bags will be collected and delivered to the local recycling facility.
5. The collected plastics can become an energy resource, feedstock for fuels or new products, or ground into smaller pieces to make new plastic building products and plastic lumber.
