Does Chicago have any plastic film recycling equipment, and if not... WHY? As one of the largest cities in the United States, it is completely negligent to NOT have the capabilities to do so. What is being done to improve recycling infrastructure?

You can go to Jewel Osco's in the city. The one I know, because its close to my work, is State and Ohio, though you should be able to call one closer to you. We have a $0.07 bag fee, to discourage plastic bags. Its not infrastructure that's the problem.
