Welcome back GFZ's!
This one is about recycling, but before we jump in, I can't write this without saying we need to remember that reducing waste is the best option for our planet and health. This is what Go For Zero is all about. However, we can't stop using blister packs or wearing shoes... so that is where Recycle Smart comes in. Learn more about recycling your hard-to-recycle items with this Australian pick-up recycling program. Spoiler alert, it is the most affordable option out there.
Recycle Smart is an Australian company that collects hard-to-recycle things - right from your doorstep. In 2023, they introduced their game-changing Power Pick-up service in Melbourne and Brisbane... and it was a hit! Ever since, they have been the Uber of waste, shaking up the recycling game for households and businesses alike.
Their mission is to accelerate Australia's transition to a circular economy by recovering as many hard-to-recycle materials as possible while making it easy for Aussies. They do this by picking up your recycling right at your doorstep.
And here is the good news... (hold onto your recycling bins)... they're going national! Recycle Smart is available in Newcastle, Gold Coast, and Byron Bay since March, with plans to conquer Adelaide later in 2024. Woot woot!
They have a loooong list of hard-to-recycle items they collect including:
Find the full list here, and a printable version to pop on your fridge here
They take all the hassle out of recycling your hard-to-recycle items:
You can use ANY grocery bag for your collection. Recycle Smart will recycle plastic bags or leave reusable ones behind. They also offer specialised bags for various recyclable materials, allowing you to sort your hard-to-recycle waste easily. Just remember to keep the bags away from anything you don't want to be collected on your doorstep, like your doorstep shoes, haha!
It's not just about collecting your blisterpacks or soft plastics; it's about giving you a channel to recycle all items that could end up in landfills or not make it through the standard recycling steam as they are simply not accepted. Goodbye wish-cycling!
What are your thoughts on Recycle Smart? Is this a service you could get behind? We'd love to hear from you! Leave us a comment below.

Much love,
