Important Update on Hefty ReNew® Orange Bags

We want to share an important update with our community. Unfortunately, Hefty has decided to end its hard-to-recycle plastics program. While we’re sad to see it go, we’re committed to helping make this transition as smooth as possible.

Orange Bag Collection Timeline

  • DCRC trailers will accept Hefty ReNew bags through October 30, 2026
  • Bags can still be dropped off at the Drive-Thru through December 30, 2026
  • Residents with curbside service in Greendale, Lawrenceburg, Hidden Valley Lake, and Dillsboro can continue placing orange bags in their recycling carts until February 2027

Need More Orange Bags? We still have a limited supply available at the Drive-Thru. Since Hefty is no longer stocking local retail stores, stop by and ask a Drive-Thru attendant if you need a few bags to finish out the program.
