SOFT PLASTICS RECYCLING

Central Coast Council, in partnership with Curby and IQRenew, has expanded its soft plastics recycling program to all residents across the local government area (LGA)—making it easier and more convenient than ever for households to recycle soft plastics.

The program is a simple and convenient way to recycle soft plastics from the comfort and safety of your home, using your Council Yellow Lid Recycling bin. Any resident living in the Central Coast local government area (LGA) with a smartphone or computer can participate in this free program.

Here’s how to participate:

1. On any web browser, simply type in CurbyRewards.com.
2. Collect your CurbyTags from any Central Coast Council Library.
3. Start collecting your household soft plastics and place them in any plastic shopping bag.
4. Attach a CurbyTag to the bag and scan the code using the Curby website – CurbyRewards.com.
5. Place the tagged bag into your Yellow Lid Recycling bin. Your soft plastics will be separated and diverted from landfill and remanufactured into a new valuable resource.

Please note that using the CurbyTag is essential for the recycling sorting facility to identify your soft plastics. If the soft plastics are not tagged, they may end up contaminating other recycling.

This program is a great opportunity for residents to take a simple step towards reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable future!
