🚫 Soft plastics are one of the biggest contaminants found incorrectly placed into the kerbside recycling bin.

👎 When these come to our Material Recovery Facility, they get caught in machinery and contaminate the paper and cardboard we are trying to recover and sort for recycling.

✅ Please remember to keep your recyclables loose and free from soft plastic so they can be sorted correctly, and this will prevent resources ending up in landfill.

♻ You can now take your clean and dry soft plastics to your nearest Woolworths store to be recycled into new products such as building materials and food grade packaging.
