I was proud to announce last week a fantastic soft plastics recycling initiative Central Coast Council is leading the way in, and the interest from our community has been phenomenal.

Central Coast Council is the only council in Australia who is currently trialling a soft plastics recycling initiative.  

In partnership with Curby, IQ Review and Nestlé, Council will be providing up to 2,000 households with the opportunity to take part in this great concept. Together we can minimise the amount of waste diverted to landfill and its impact on the environment. 

For households participating as part of the pilot, a welcome pack will be posted out which includes the soft yellow Curby bags, Curby tags and an information letter, then it is a simple three step process:

1.    Place your clean soft plastics such as cling wrap, chocolate wraps, biscuit wraps etc into the yellow curby bag until full,
2.    Place the Curby tag to the bag,
3.    Place the filled bag into the yellow lid recycle bin for collection

If successful, Council will be looking to roll out this program across the Central Coast region. 

If you would like to get involved, please visit curbythebilby.com.au and sign up by September 30.
