Why can we recycle all plastics at the kerbside?
Plastic bottles can be recycled at the kerbside in the clear sacks. Plastics with the following symbols can also be placed within the clear sack. Of all the materials recycled nationally, plastic is the most difficult due to its high volume and light weight. This makes it very expensive to collect and transport. In addition, the market for plastic reprocessing is limited to a few specific types of plastic bottle, and this is why other types of plastic are not recycled at the kerbside.
