Each Council area accepts different plastics in the recycling bin. In Moorabool, these plastics are recyclable:

• #1 - PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
• #2 - HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
• #5 – PP (Polypropylene) 

Most plastics have a number written inside a triangle on the base. This number tells you what type of plastic it is - not whether it's recyclable in Moorabool. If you’re unsure what type of plastic it is – it’s better to put in your garbage bin than risk contaminating recyclables. If in doubt – leave it out!
