Small hard plastic (eg. straws, bottle tops, bread tags, plastic cutlery)
If small pieces of plastic are put loosely into your recycling bin they will fall through the cracks at the materials recovery facility and end up in landfill.
To recycle small hard plastic items:
- Place small hard plastics into a milk or juice bottle (use a container that is plastic and semi see-through)
- Keep the container in a convenient place (eg. under your sink) and fill it up with all your small plastics
- When the bottle is full, screw the lid on and chuck it into your recycling bin
