REDcycle is a NFP (Not For Profit) group who pick up the soft plastics - produce bags, packaging and film for recycling from places like Coles and Woolworths. The best way to collect your soft plastics is to simply create a bin, line it with one of your soft plastics like a bread bag and put all the packaging you have in it till it's full. When it's full, pop it into your reusable shopping bag and take it with you next time you go to the supermarket.
