Plastic - bags and soft plastics
Disposal / recycling options
Business or community recycling programs
November 2022 notification from Planet Ark: “The REDcycle recycling scheme for soft plastics has been temporarily suspended. Collection bins at supermarkets and other drop-off points will be closed until the scheme is running again. During this time, unfortunately, soft plastics should be put in your garbage bin.”
Residents are recommended to choose produce and foods from markets, butchers, bulk food and other stocklists with limited or no soft plastic packaging. Take reusable bags, containers and boxes to contain the smaller or more perishable food items.
