Pool Cover and Plastics Drop-off Day - June 26th
The Town of Cambridge is trialling an Extended Plastics Drop Off Day at the Admin Centre to collect a range of plastics. These items will be locally processed and used in the Australian manufacturing industry.
You are invited to bring your clean plastics, and asked to separate lids, bungs, rubber seals, rings of bottles. These will be received, but are often of a different plastic type so must be collected separately.
LDPE: Pool covers, soft plastics, plastic bags, shrink wrap, rubbish bags, reticulation pipe, bubble wrap.
CRITERIA: Mainly metal and oil free. Labels and tape removed. In regards to pool covers and reticulation pipes please separate the plastic joints and metal pieces.
