I was ecstatic to see that both Dural and Glenorie Woolies have reintroduced a soft plastics recycling bin in their stores.
At this stage it is being trialled at selected locations across NSW and Victoria. Along with the collection point, the company is making great efforts to reduce the use of single use plastics (including straws and picnic cutlery) as well as plastic wrap and packaging on many of its products.
With extremely limited avenues for recycling soft plastics in our area this is a great win for the community and I must admit that I almost filled it up with the soft plastics I had been storing for the past several months, as I just couldn’t bear to throw them in the red bin!
Let’s hope that the trial becomes a permanent operation and to ensure that it does, please read the table below and DO NOT use it as a rubbish bin.
