Soft Plastics Recycling trial
Wagga Wagga City Council, in partnership with Recycle Smart, is undertaking a trial, accepting soft plastics for recycling in an effort to divert it from landfill.
Recycling of soft plastics is different to the recycling of hard plastics and requires a different process. This is why soft plastics do not go in your yellow lid bin and must be collected separately then dropped off to one of our collection locations.
Where to drop off your soft plastics
We are rolling out soft plastics recycling collection locations in Wagga Wagga and surrounds. Check back to this webpage for updates on locations.
Current soft plastics drop-off locations:
- Wagga Wagga Civic Centre, corner of Morrow and Baylis Streets, Wagga Wagga. See location
