Yes. They are made of polytethylene and 100% recycled (usually
used to make park benches and other imitation-wood products). This
is the advantage of recycling plastic bags instead of buying
biodegradable, as biodegradable bags can only be composted
(non-recyclable).
They can be recycled. However you would have to empty the trash
they hold into the trash can for pick up, then throw the Hefty or
Glad bag into your recycling bin. A better choices would be to
buy trash bags that are 100% biodegradable. The biodegradable
bags begin to break down in 90 days. Regular plastic garbage bags
like Hefty or Glad take 1,000 years or more to start to break
down.
