Hard plastic

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your recycling enquiry about hard plastic.

Hard plastics can sometimes be tricky to recycle through your kerbside bin, as it depends on the type of plastic and local council guidelines. Generally, everyday rigid plastic packaging like bottles, containers, and tubs with recycling codes 1 and 2 are accepted in kerbside recycling. However, other types of hard plastics, such as plastic toys, garden pots, or household items, are usually not accepted.

If your hard plastic item is in good condition, consider donating or reusing it. Otherwise, check with your local council or recycling centres for special drop-off points that accept hard plastics.

If you have a specific item in mind, please let us know, and we can help provide more detailed advice.

Thanks again for reaching out! Feel free to contact us anytime with more questions.

Thanks Murphy
