FAQs about plastic collection and disposal for businesses in Sydney
What kinds of plastic can’t be recycled?
Certain plastic items are classified as non-recyclable due to their material type or contamination. These include:
- Contaminated soft plastics with food residue
- Some black plastics (depending on the recycling facility)
- Composite or multi-material packaging (e.g. foil-lined plastic bags)
If we collect these materials, we ensure they’re disposed of safely and according to local guidelines.
Can I put polystyrene in my household recycling bin?
No. Most councils in Sydney do not accept polystyrene in kerbside recycling. It should be collected separately and either taken to a specialised drop-off facility or removed by a professional waste contractor like Sydney City Rubbish.
Do you recycle the plastic you collect?
We sort and separate all plastic and polystyrene waste. Any recyclable materials are taken to licensed recycling centres. Non-recyclables are disposed of responsibly, with full compliance with local council and EPA standards.
How quickly can you collect my plastic waste?
We offer flexible bookings and can often arrange same-day or next-day pickup, depending on your location and waste volume. For larger or ongoing needs, we can organise a regular collection schedule.
