Net bag

Hi Jamie, Thanks for your question about net bags! Net bags – like the kind used for fruit, vegetables, or shellfish – can be tricky. They’re usually made from soft plastics or nylon-style mesh, and they shouldn’t go in your kerbside recycling bin. These materials can get tangled in recycling machinery and cause processing issues. The best option is to place them in your general waste bin, unless you’re able to reuse them at home – for example, for storing small items or as scrubbers in the garden shed. For tailored advice based on your local area, feel free to search "net bag" in Recycle Mate to see the best disposal option near you. Thanks again for reaching out – and keep the great questions coming!
