#  Plastic Film Drop-Off 

 



 

 

Recycle your clean, dry plastic film! This includes plastic bags, mailers, bubble wrap, shrink wrap, and air pillows. Rigid or non-stretchy plastic does not belong in plastic film bins.

These locations host film collection bins **during open hours**:

- Cambridge: [Harvard Yard Mail Center](https://transportation.harvard.edu/mail-print/campus-mail-centers/harvard-yard) in the Science Center
- Allston: [Harvard Recycling & Surplus Center](/recycling-waste/surplus-center "Recycling and Surplus Center")
- Longwood: [HPSH Reuse Room](https://hsph.harvard.edu/office/operations/ecoopportunity/)

Several Schools and units on campus host plastic film collections, including HKS, HBS, and GSD. If you'd like to know if/where you can recycle film in your building, or if you'd like to start a collection, check with the right contact on our [specialty recycling resource.](/resource/donations-and-specialty-recycling "Donations and Specialty Recycling")
