We're holding a free soft plastics recycling drop-off event at Ray Robinson Oval car park, Towradgi.
Soft plastics are flexible materials that can be easily scrunched into a ball.
Bring along your clean, dry and empty soft plastic packaging, including:
✅Plastic bags: clear and coloured
✅Biscuit and snack wrappers
✅Chip packets and other silver-lined snack wrappers
✅Fresh and frozen food wrappers / bags
✅Pasta bags, rice bags (both plastic and woven types)
✅Bread bags and cereal liners
✅Cling wrap, bubble wrap and snap lock zip bags
✅Document sleeves, mail satchels and carrier bags
✅Plastic pet food bags.
Please note that soft plastics do not include:
❌Rigid plastics that can go in your yellow lid bin, like biscuit and meat trays
❌Zippers from large dog food bags or string from stock feed bags
❌Compostable plastics - these cannot be recycled.
Entry to the car park is off Moray Road, Towradgi.
Please be patient and follow the direction of traffic controllers at all times.
This event is organised by Illawarra Shoalhaven Joint Organisation (ISJO), supported by Soft Plastics Stewardship Australia, and is open to residents of Wollongong City Council, Shellharbour City Council, Kiama Municipal Council and Shoalhaven City Council.
