Goodwill Soft Plastics Program

Goodwill San Diego aims to address the environmental challenge posed by soft plastics, such as plastic films, shopping bags, and bubble wrap which are not accepted in curbside recycling programs. These materials often end up in landfills where they contribute to pollution, contaminate our waterways, and pose a risk to local wildlife. By establishing a collection program, Goodwill wants to divert these plastics, reduce environmental impact, and promote a more sustainable community.

Once collected at our facilities, soft plastics are sent to our partner who transforms them into a variety of valuable products. These include durable pallets, stylish patio furniture, and deck flooring. This process keeps soft plastics in the use cycle, reducing the need for new material by using products that would have become waste.

To participate in the collection program, donors can bring clean and dry soft plastics to any of our participating retail locations. The soft plastics we accept include the following: plastic film, single use grocery/retail bags, cling wrap, bubble wrap, air pillows used for shipping, newspaper sleeves, case overwrap (like for water or soda), and other product wrap. If the package is shiny or makes a crinkly/crunchy sound in your hand, it should not be included. If you’re unsure if your plastic can be donated, see if the package will stretch when you pull it. If yes, it can be included. If it tears like paper, please leave it behind.

Following these steps ensures that your donated soft plastics can be effectively recycled into new products and supports a cleaner, healthier environment.
