Forget everything you know about recycling!

To determine what is accepted, what was in the bag or wrapper is more important than the material it is made from.  TerraCycle has corporate sponsors for each brigade  (category).  For example, Frito-Lay sponsors the Chip brigade.  They are willing to pay for any product similar to their own.  So if you can find it in the chip aisle of the grocery store, it is considered a chip bag.  Same goes for other brigades.
