It's God's good Earth so care for it by recycling!

Enjoy!

Plastic bags should not be placed in the yellow recycling bin. Soft plastics and plastic bags can be recycled through soft plastic drop off bins at supermarkets.

4. Aluminum foil
It goes in your recycling bin. Small pieces get lost in the recycling process so save foil and roll into a golf ball size to recycle. Foil with grease can be recycled, just make sure you give it a quick wipe. 

5. Nappies
These are not recyclable and should go in the red lidded bin. Maybe think about how to change to a more sustainable alternative. Read the Choice disposable and cloth nappy buying guide
