Plastic cutlery and plates are typically not suitable for kerbside recycling because:

  • They are often too small or thin, causing them to slip through sorting equipment.

  • They may be made from low-grade or mixed plastics not accepted by most recycling programs.

  • Food contamination is common with these items, making them unsuitable for recycling.

Switching to reusable alternatives is a more sustainable option.
