Any plastic packaging, even soft plastic, can be disposed off in your household recycle bin once it has been ‘clean and dry’.
It is a significant shift, since rigid plastic used to be allowed in your green trash can.
It occurs in the wake technology upgrades at recycling centers in Ireland.
These centres will seperate any plastics that cannot be recycled and make Solid Recovered Fuel. This can be used to replace fossil-fuelled cement kilns.
Here are some guidelines to help you decide what to put in your recycling container.
What can you put in the household recycle bin
- Soft plastics: All types of plastic packaging including bubble wrap, bread wrappers breakfast cereal bags, frozen food bag, 6 pack rings and carrier bags
- Rigid plastics – e.g. bottles, trays, yoghurt pots, biscuit trays, takeaway containers
- You can still use pizza boxes, but you should dispose of any leftovers or crusts in the food waste container
- Crisp packets are not recyclable if they become soiled. But, you can put them in the recycle bin and get them sent as solid recovered fuel.

- Tins
- Cans
- Cartons
