WASH
We can't recycle dirty plastic!
It can take months for you donation to go from a donation bin, to us, to our volunteers. Dirt turns into mould really quickly - yuck.
Unfortunately any dirty donations will be thrown away, as we don't have the time or man power to clean our donations!
Did you know plastic lids can be made from several different types of plastic?
As if recycling wasn't complicated enough!
If you are able to sort your plastic by type that will help us in the recycling process. The same types of plastic can be shredded and melted together again. But some types of plastic won't melt well with others and will cause recycled products to break.
The main types are:
SORT
Type 3
PVC
Polyvinyl chloride
Type 2
HDPE
High-density
polyethylene
Type 1
PET
Polyethylene terephthalate
Type 4
LDPE
Low-density polyethylene
