We're participating in a 12-month soft plastics recycling trial.
Beginning in August 2024, all residents within Indigo Shire will be able to recycle their soft plastics waste through their kerbside collection service.
Each property will be given a year’s supply of orange collection bags and residents will be able to simply fill, tie off and place the bag in their yellow lidded recycling bin to be processed by Cleanaway.
This innovative initiative is being funded through a product stewardship scheme headed by the Australian Food and Grocery Council in partnership with 40 different brand manufacturers, Cleanaway and Halve Waste.
In July 2024, residents participating in the trial will receive, through a mail out, a pack of 20 x 15L orange collection bags in preparation for the trial's start date of 1 August.
Given that all Indigo Shire residents will automatically be included in the pilot, you do not need to register your household. However, if you would like to participate in program surveys throughout the pilot, hit the button below.
