ShopRite and its store brands Paperbird and Bowl & Basket are collaborating with P&G, Purina, Campbell’s Snacks and TerraCycle to launch a recycling program for flexible-film plastic packaging.

The kiosks offer customers a place to drop off all brands of otherwise hard-to-recycle flexible-film packaging and keep waste out of landfills. The colorful kiosks are located outside five ShopRite stores and contain instructions for sorting the flexible-film.

ShopRite customers are encouraged to drop off their flexible-film waste – everything from empty potato chip bags to potting soil packages – at dedicated recycling kiosks at the following store locations:

  • ShopRite of Greater Morristown: 178 E. Hanover Ave., Cedar Knolls, N.J.

  • ShopRite of Livingston: 483 S. Livingston Ave., Livingston, N.J.

  • ShopRite of Stirling: 1153 Valley Rd., Stirling, N.J.

The following items are accepted through the new recycling kiosks:

  • Home, pet and garden packaging

  • Fertilizer and soil bags

  • Pet food and treat packaging

  • Laundry and dish detergent pouches

  • Flexible snack packaging:

  • Chip and snack bags
