In Calgary, put this in the
Black cart — Garbage
Food-soiled cling wrap goes in the black cart.
Also searched as: plastic wrap, saran wrap.
Why the black cart?
Cling film is almost always food-contaminated, and its super-stretchy formulation tangles sorting equipment even worse than grocery bags. Food-soiled film of any kind is black-cart garbage.
Get it right
- Even clean-looking cling wrap has usually touched food — when in doubt, black cart.
- Beeswax wraps and silicone lids are reusable swaps that eliminate this item entirely.
