Last week it was announced that REDCycle’s soft plastics collection program was put on hold. This means you can no longer drop off your soft plastics at local supermarkets (Coles or Woolworths).
Please DO NOT put soft plastics in your recycling bin. They must go into your household rubbish bin which unfortunately means it will go back into landfill.
Here’s some tips to help reduce the amount of soft plastics coming home and adding to your household rubbish:
- Try to avoid soft plastics where possible
- Take reusable shopping bags
- Put fruit and vegetables in a reusable bag (e.g. cotton string bags)
- Try reusable food coverings instead of cling wrap (e.g. beeswax wraps)
We hope that REDCycle’s program will resume again in the new year but will keep you updated about the situation.
