Any recycling company that picks up plastic wrap is either going to send it to a landfill or ship it somewhere to be incinerated. No one is recycling plastic wrap. Something like 95% of plastic can't be recycled at all, and what can be recycled can't be reused in the same type of product. Just trash it. That might actually be the most environmentally friendly option at this point, given that plastic bags tend to cause jams at recycling sorting plants. The actual goal here is using less plastic, but of course that's not entirely on you, you can't control how companies package things.

I see some comments already saying shit like "recycling in Pittsburgh is a scam" - no, it works this way literally everywhere in the entire world.
