The city of Lakewood recently announced that all plastics # 1-7 (including margarine, yogurt, grocery store produce containers, etc.) will be accepted for curbside recycling. Previously it was just all plastics that have a "neck" (pop / water bottles). The city will now also accept empty plastic bags; just throw them in with the rest. Also you can unscrew plastic lids and throw those in the bag.
You can continue to mix plastics / glass / cans in the same clear or blue bag. The update is also on the Lakewood City Hall recycling site.
