Are we allowed to put out additional recyclables next to our official recycling container in a plastic bag?

Because plastic bags are not recyclable in our current program, we request that residents only use the approved containers supplied by the City when recycling their materials. City recycling employees are unable to accept materials that are not in an approved container. Residents should request another bin by filling out the Container Request Form.
