Plastic Bags

What to do with:

• If you're only buying a couple of items, consider carrying them and refuse a plastic bag
• When shopping, take alternatives to plastic bags with you, such as calico bags, baskets or boxes. Keep a folded up reuseable bag in your handbag or keep several in the car.
• If you do have plastic bags, you can take them back to Coles or Woolworths for recycling. Plastic bags need to be clean.  Be careful to check which bags are accepted at the recycling bins.  Some of the heavier plastics may not be recylcable, only the lights HDPE supermarket plastic bags.
