Make it recycle ready
- remove any remaining cereal.
Where do cereal box inserts go next?
They will be:
- collected by REDcycle.
- taken to REDcycle facilities for processing.
- taken to manufacturing facilities to be turned into new recycled products.
Why can’t cereal box inserts go in my recycling bin?
Current recycling sorting facilities aren’t equipped to sort these softer types of plastic and they can get caught in equipment. This slows down the sorting lines and can even stop the equipment for periods of time.
Household waste and recycling collections will continue as normal.
Council waste and recycling facilities, including collection, treatment, disposal and transfer stations, are now open across all of Victoria.
Visitors must follow all directions and instructions for maintaining a COVIDSafe environment.
For more information on the location of your nearest facility, check the waste and recycling advice for your local council area.
For more information and updates, visit the Victorian Government’s coronavirus (COVID-19) website.
