Q. Can I recycle my plastic shopping
QA
bags in the blue bin? Dan, Parkdale
A. Dan, Great question. Please don’t put plastic
bags in your recycling. Bags cause major problems with
machinery at the recycling facility in Portland. Good news
though- Return plastic bags and film packaging (if clean
and dry) to your supermarket. That includes bags that cover
produce, bread, paper towels, drycleaning, and case wraps.

Coping
with
COVID
A brewery tab
“There’s a lot of heart-warm-
ing things going on in Park-
dale,” said Solera Brewery
owner Jason Kahler. He said a
regular customer put down the
starter donation for a pub tab
to help out anyone coming in
who might be short of funds
and needing a meal. (Solera is
open 4-8 p.m. for takeout.) The
tab is for food only, but Kahler
has a way to help out the
beer and cider customers who
want to take home a growler:
Under COVID regulations, any
growler’s got to be a fresh one;
they can sell you a new one at
cost, $3.
