Hi Ashley

Thank you for your recycling question.

Plastic folders and envelopes are not recyclable in the home kerbside recycling bin. The kerbside recycling system is designed to handle your everyday packaging waste like disposable bottles, jars and containers, so other plastic household items are unable to be processed.

If your plastic folder is in good condition that’s suitable for resale use Recycle Mate to find a charity shop or other location nearby accepting donations.

If your plastic folder is damaged and not in good condition it will need to be placed in your general waste bin.

If you happen to find any local recycling or re-use options, we would love to hear about it!

Thank you for getting in touch. Please feel free reach out if you have any other questions.
