Soft plastic
It’s time to bag up your soft plastics and get ready to recycle.
Moira Shire Council are partnering with Recyclesmart to provide our community a soft plastics recycling solution, with drop-off points at our Cobram, Yarrawonga, Numurkah and Nathalia Resource Recovery Centres, to help you reduce what goes in your landfill bin.
Soft plastic are plastics that can be easily scrunched in your hand. Things like bubble wrap, chip packets, post satchels, bread bags, zip lock bags and frozen produce bags.
Before you recycle - Have you removed labels, staples, etc? Is it dry? Is it relatively clean?
