What is a big bag?
Big Bags are the bags that carry products and ingredients to all sectors of industry and our backyard. Things like: fertiliser, seeds, animal feeds, flour, salt, sugar, milk powders, sand, gravel, mulch, cement and more.
You can now recycle your “big bags” at Council’s Transfer Stations, providing they are on the list of approved bags accepted by Big Bag Recovery. Click on the QR code below to see bags accepted by the scheme.
Council is now in partnership with Big Bag Recovery who are the only Australian Government Accredited product stewardship scheme for plastic bags over 15 kg/l of contents (sacks and bulk bags). The program only includes recyclable bags that are woven polypropylene (wPP) and low density polyethylene (LDPE).
