🔥 Got FirehouseSubs to-go containers? If they look like these: cardboard/egg carton type material and tear, they’re compostable. ✒️P.S. I’m not specifically calling out Firehouse Subs, this is just what keeps ending up on my porch. 🗑If the paper snags a bit like it’s stuck (modern butcher paper), it’s coated in plastic and should be…
Here is the plastic bags/films/wraps station at Target. This bag station is near Guest Service where they take store returns, order pickups, etc. This photo is from May 31.
