Clear Soft Plastics

What are soft plastics?
Plastics that can be scrunched into a ball. Clear, soft plastic bags.
Important requirements:
All soft plastics must be clean, empty, and dry
No more drop-offs
The recycling journey: From Unanderra, collected materials are transported to iQRenew, Australia’s first purpose-built soft plastics recycling facility located near Taree on the Mid North Coast. There, these plastics are transformed into useful products including bottle inserts, baskets, fence posts, FOGO caddies, and other items.
This initiative helps divert plastic waste from landfills while creating valuable new products for our community.
Drop-offs for plastics no longer permitted.

Do you have confidential documents that need to be recycled? Flagstaff Paper to Paper’s Secure Document Destruction service offers peace of mind and protection against identity theft, confidentiality breaches and non-compliance with regulations. Both secure shredding boxes or locked bins are available to meet your needs.
Secure Shredding Boxes – ‘Box of Destruction’
Perfect for your home or office, Flagstaff’s Box of Destruction is an ideal and convenient way to ensure documents are shredded securely and disposed of in a safe environment.
For only $28.99 (incl GST) you can purchase a secure shredding Box of Destruction. Take it home or to the office, fill with your documents, then bring it back to Flagstaff when full for secure shredding.
Flagstaff will ensure the contents are securely shredded and recycled so you have peace of mind while being environmentally friendly.
The Box of Destruction is an ideal carry size for the home – 44cm x 32cm x 43cm.

Take advantage of our convenient secure bin hire service. The Flagstaff team will deliver a secure locked bin and collect the full bin when you are ready. The bin is securely transported in an enclosed truck back to the Flagstaff destruction facility, where 100% of contents are securely shredded and recycled. Destruction certificates are available on request.

Flagstaff Paper to Paper only accepts clear soft plastics.
LDPE-4 Commercial & Bulk Service.
We continue to recycle low-density polyethylene (identifiable with the LDPE-4 symbol) including bubble wrap, shrink wrap, pallet wrap, shopping bags, and clear plastic bags.
Please note: Only clear LDPE-4 plastics are accepted for this service – NO colored plastic. Depositing the wrong type requires time-consuming manual sorting, reduces recycled product quality, and can damage equipment.
For large volumes, rent a bale frame to bag plastic at your site, then choose weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or on-demand collection service available throughout the Shoalhaven and Illawarra.
All soft plastics must be clean, empty, and dry.
Drop-offs are no longer accepted.
Securely dispose of x-rays by dropping them off at our facility where they will be securely handled and recycled. Our processes ensure that sensitive information is completely destroyed, and materials can be repurposed to reduce waste going to landfill.
This is a paid service with drop-off available at our facility.

"Seamless and Helpful"
Flagstaff secure shredding was recommended to me… I found the service efficient, friendly and timely. Booking, delivery and removal was seamless and helpful, they were readily able to fit in with my time constraints… I would have no hesitation in recommending Flagstaff.
