What happens to the lids?

The lids are collected by CLAW Environmental, a local recycling company that specialises in recycling polystyrene, plastic plant pots and much more. The collected plastics are shredded, granulated, washed and pelletised to use in the manufacture of new goods.

Plastic lid criteria

  • Plastic lids up to 10cm diameter
  • Clean – all contamination removed
  • Any colour
  • No breadtags please – visit Aussie Bread Tags for Wheelchairs for drop-off locations.

Is there a fee?

Free drop off for Member and Participating Council residents. A $25 entry fee applies to non-member Council residents.

What if I can’t get to the Recycling Centre?

Small plastic lids from refundable containers can also be taken to your local Containers for Change depot when you drop off your eligible empties.
