Can I put soft plastics such as wrapping and carrier bags in my household recycling bin?
No. The market for soft plastics like wrapping and carrier bags is very limited as these plastics are difficult to recycle. This type of plastic can also cause problems during the sorting process as it can damage the machinery if caught on belts and rollers. Please do not put soft plastics in your household recycling bin. You can limit the amount of soft plastics that you throw away by trying to buy items with minimal packaging and opting for reusable bags when shopping.
