Very few plastics can be recycled properly. The whole plastic recycling symbol stuff is really a love letter to the American Plastics Council.

This appears to specifically be about 13- and 30-gallon trash bags that Hefty and Walmart were marketing as being used for recycling but couldn’t actually go to recycling facilities.
