07.01.2022 Keep on recycling & reducing your use of plastic even though Plastic Free July is nearly over! At my Prospect SA Living Smart course last night -some reminders: As small items and/or flat items are difficult to retrieve at the materials recovery facility it is best to collect them together inside a larger container of the same material before placing them in the recycle bin. Small plastic items, bread tags, lids as well as flat container lids; takeaway container lids, marg...arine, butter, yoghurt or ice-cream lids should be collected in a plastic bottle preferably clear (PET) bottle or plastic milk bottle.This will be collected and recycled as a mixed plastic. Ignore the numbers and apply the scrunch test ie if the plastic container is rigid and cant be scrunched or pops back into shape after it is scrunched, it can go in the recycling bin. The Australasian Recycling Label provides more information on what and how different parts of packaging can be recycled or if it cant be recycled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYVfA8mGJYg #PlasticFreeJuly #ProspectLivingSmart #CityofProspect See more
