At Tiny Tins, we’re tackling one of the biggest gaps in traditional recycling, small plastics.
Our Small Plastics Recycling Program
We’re tackling one of the biggest gaps in traditional recycling, small plastics.
Items like lids, caps and small plastic components are often too small to be processed through standard recycling facilities. They fall through sorting machinery or contaminate other recycling streams, which means they usually end up in landfill.
Our Small Plastics Recycling Program is designed to change that.
What we accept
Hard-to-recycle small plastics, the kind that build up in households, classrooms and offices but have nowhere obvious to go.
Items must be: clean, dry, food-residue free, and rigid (no soft plastics, films or wrappers). We work mainly with HDPE and PP.
How it works
Nothing is shipped offshore. The whole journey happens here in the Illawarra, using our in-house recycling equipment.
