Plastics (soft packaging)

Soft plastics (for example - bread bags, frozen food bags, soft plastic wrapping, light plastic bags) cannot be recycled in your yellow bin, they must be placed in your red general waste bin. 

Alternatively, some soft plastics can be recycled through RecycleSmart by booking a pick-up from your doorstep. 

As of 9 November 2022, REDcycle who are Australia's largest soft plastic recycling program, have had to temporarily stop accepting soft plastics (bread bags, frozen food bags, soft plastic wrapping, light plastic bags, etc). This means that there are currently no collection points at major supermarkets.
