All plastic packaging, soft and hard, can now go in the household recycling bin after it’s been “clean, dry, & loose”.
It’s a big shift from years past when only rigid plastic could go in your bin.
It follows technology upgrades in recycling centres in Ireland.
All plastics that can’t go to waste will be taken out of these centres and recycled.
Here’s an overview of what you should put in your recycling bin.
