No you can't. This is because in the first level of sorting done in recycling stations is done by hand. Having to open the plastic bag and sort through all the contents looking for recyclable goods would take up too much time. If a plastic bag is found in a recycling station it, and all its contents is thrown into the rubbish. There may be recyclable objects in your plastic bag but there could also be un-recyclable food and even harmful materials like medical equipment etc.
