We discuss free drop off points for tricky to recycle items such as : plastic bags batteries ewaste coffee cups. Hopefully this info helps you stick to your 2022 recycling goals! hello and welcome to another edition of our podcast recycle don't be a waster um and for regular listeners you'll know that we cover all things recycling related today is the second week of 2022 and i hope you had some new new year's resolutions related to recycling so i think in today's podcast we want to make those resolutions a bit easier for you and give you you know two or three locations or solutions for tricky recycling that should help nearly anybody in australia um and i am i assume if you're overseas in other countries you will have similar or equivalent opportunities in in most major cities so today's podcast is about let's say three three destinations three places that you are residential or household can recycle tricky items and you know you should be aware of these to boost your recycling rates um this assumes that you have the standard bins you know at your house the the cardboard bin the commingled bin for balls and cans and of course your general waste bin so what we'll do is we'll give you what i think are three grid options for for those trickier trickier things the first one is it's called red cycle red cycle is a company that focuses or it's a charitable base to my understanding non-profitable that focuses on recycling soft plastic so soft plastics are plastic bags plastic wrap um crisp packets those sort of things packets for food those soft plastics that you cannot put in your commingle bin and so fundamentally if you don't put them here they'll end up in landfill so this uh you can drop them off for free at most major supermarkets i know they are at woolworths and and kohl's i think they also are at most igas but you will probably need to check just check your local store they often have a you know a facility or a location at the front of the store just as you turn in in the door and you'll see lots of plastic bags and items such as that piled up uh so what do they do with these materials um i think if you'd listened to one of our previous podcasts you will know that plastics can only be recycled so many times and once they get you know lower grade they tend to be made into lower and lower quality products this is the case for plastic bags soft plastics dark plastic wrap and um red cycle it makes items such as flooring for parks you know to stop kids hurting their knees if they fall park furniture like park benches and and those sort of items so reasonably low grade plastic but at the same time still creating useful items and preventing these uh this material from going to landfill so i think that's the first one and these these solutions also at waester we every day get you know many requests queries about standard these these sort of where can i put this where can i put that and we probably recommend red cycle to people at least at least once a day so this is one two to remember the second one i will say is is office works so anyone in australia will almost certainly have an office works location nearby and of course the major you know business office retailer selling all items associated with an office and they collect very a very wide range of e-waste electronic waste and associated items and you can drop them off for free and generally at the front of the store these items cover um you know laptops computers cabling and in some instances cds and vhs not in all but in some instances telephones mobile phones all those sort of items and these decide that these items will be taken for you know e-recycling whereby the valuable materials the metals etc are taken out so again a really really useful useful service um
