 What's new
Recycle plastic supermarket shopping bags
Plastic supermarket shopping bags can now be recycled. They are collected as part of the normal kerbside recycling collection in Christchurch City and Waimakariri District areas.
How you can make a difference
- Make sure the supermarket shopping bags are clean and empty
- Put the shopping bags in the bag with your recyclable paper and tie the handles of that bag (this helps weigh the bags down so they don't blow around causing litter)
- Place that bag (with the bags and paper) on top of the recycling crate at the kerbside as usual.
Please note: we can only accept plastic supermarket shopping bags.
For more information about this and recycling other plastic see our recycling plastic page.
