19.01.2022 Hobart's looking pretty good when it comes to kerbside recycling. But there's one thing that's still causing a few problems - the dreaded plastic bag! If you put your recyclables into a plastic bag, you run the risk of undoing all of your good work by having it all end up in landfill. Plastic bags and other soft plastics can get stuck in the machinery at the sorting facility and can cause all sorts of problems in the sorting process. Even putting items into boxes can caus...e issues. So leave your recyclables to tumble free in your recycling bin!

Electric vehicle infrastructure is part of both the City of Hobart’s Connected Hobart and draft Sustainable Hobart action plans to create a more sustainable future for our city.
