Reynolds Consumer Products is ending the Hefty ReNew Orange Bag program because markets for the material didn’t scale as expected.

This was not a decision by the City of Smyrna or Keep Smyrna Beautiful. KEY DATES: ♻ End of 2026: Orange Bags no longer available for purchase ♻ March 31, 2027: Last day Smyrna curbside recycling and the Smyrna Recycling Center accept Orange Bags ♻ June 2027: Hefty ReNew program officially ends. Unused bags can be returned for a refund at hefty.com/hefty-renew What stays the same: Curbside recycling and the Recycling Center will keep accepting all the same materials they do now. Thanks to Smyrna residents, about 200,000 pounds of hard-to-recycle plastics have stayed out of landfills since 2020. We’ll keep looking for new ways to offer recycling for these materials.
