An apparatus for opening plastic bags containing recyclable materials includes a feed conveyor for transporting the plastic bags from a receiving area to a sorting area, and a plurality of bag opener units positioned along the feed conveyor. Each of the bag opener units includes a flexible line connected to a rotating head. Free ends of the whirling lines shred and open the plastic bags as they are rotated by the rotating heads and as the plastic bags are transported along the feed conveyor.
