Look for the Agrecovery logo on the pack, or check the list of brands for woven PP bags and LDPE bags you can recycle for free in-store.

Call Agrecovery on 0800 247 326, or email info@agrecovery.co.nz to order a free liner and zip code for each of the plastics. Please leave the label on for identification at the collection site.

Containers must be:

• Plastic
• Between 0 - 60 litres in size
• Lid and pail handles removed. Pail lids can be folded and placed inside the pail
• Free from residue and dirt inside and out
• Triple-rinsed and well-drained.
  

Please note:

• Large users (300+ containers) can request on-property collection
• There are other recycling options available for containers between 61 and 1,000 litres.

1. Fully remove the string or cut along the top of the bag to remove residue and give a good shake 
2. Ensure bags are clean 
3. Put the bags in their specific liner (either LDPE or PP). Each liner fits 65-70 woven PP bags or 100 LDPE bags
4. Once full, seal the liner with the zip tie. Each zip tie has a code on it - this is needed for Agrecovery to record your recycling activity 
5. Store in a dry and shaded location.

Please note:

• Liner bags must be 25kg or under in size
• Woven PP plastic has the recycling code 5
• Bags can be no older than 6 months old. Bags that have been stored for long periods may be sun damaged and/or disintegrated and cannot be recycled.
