Utah Plant That Takes Boise's Orange Bag Plastics Hasn't Been Functioning Since 2018

City of Boise

 

Boise city officials told residents they could recycle certain plastics for repurposing as diesel fuel as part of the EnergyBag program. 

But it turns out that the plant in Salt Lake City that was supposed to process the plastic has been non-functioning since 2018. What’s been going on? What should we be doing with those plastics?

 

City of Boise's Colin Hickman and Haley Falconer join Idaho Matters to talk more about what these means.
