(UNDATED) - The Kroger Company is launching a plastic recycling campaign in its central division, which is intended to reduce the company’s impact on the environment.

Custom-designed barrels will be placed in Kroger, Pay Less, Owen's, Scott's and Hilander stores to allow consumers to contribute plastic grocery bags, dry cleaning plastic and other plastic bags for recycling.

Earlier this year, Kroger launched a reusable bag program entitled "Choose To Reuse." Kroger offers two reusable bags in all Kroger stores in the central division. The bags are a special, sturdy design with a foldout bottom to stand upright when full of groceries. The insulated bag for hot or cold foods sells for 2-dollars-99-cents and the regular bag sells for 99-cents.

Display racks with reusable bags are located at the front entrance of Kroger stores near the checkout lanes.
