Sound advice from VOICE at their waste & recycling workshop organised by the community led initiative m.facebook.com/onegreenvillage/
- All RIGID plastic (ie it bounces back!) can be recycled, no matter what colour or what PET number if on it. No soft plastic is recyclable. - - Remember: Clean, dry and loose!
- When soft and rigid plastics are combined (eg ham packs) advice is to remove loose plastic and put in bin and recycle rigid piece.
- We can’t recycle polystyrene or plastic coated coffee cups or food containers. And we can’t recycle mixed material (with the exception of Tetrapak!)
- And check out www.terracycle.com/en-IE and register to collect specific waste types like crisp bags and get money donated to charities! Great idea for local pubs?
