Carrier bags - Waste A-Z

What to do

Please do not put plastic carrier bags or plastic sacks of any kind in your recycling bin.

 

Thin plastic is not accepted by our recycling contractor. Some examples include plastic around:

  • bread
  • fruit
  • vegetables
  • magazines
  • cooked meats (lids)
  • fruit punnets

These should be placed in your general household waste bin.

Other recycling options:

This type of plastic can be recycled along with carrier bags at certain larger supermarkets. Alternatively, you can take them to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre to be disposed of.
