Bubble wrap

What do I do with it?

Recycle at home or at a recycling centre.

  • put bubble wrap and other plastic bags and wrapping out for collection in a carrier bag tied at the top
  • small amount to recycle? Tuck your tied bag inside your red recycling bag 
  • lots to recycle and no space in your red bag? Place the tied bag on top of your black box or tuck it alongside your recycling bags so it doesn't blow away 

There are lots of non-plastic alternatives to bubble wrap like corrugated cardboard and shredded paper.
