Each Council area accepts different plastics in the recycling bin. In Moorabool, these plastics are recyclable:
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!
Never donate damaged shoes to an Op Shop - if you won't wear them - why would someone else?
Note: never put syringes in any council bin.
