Individuals can now bring any brand of hard-to-recycle air-freshener cartridges or home-cleaning packaging, to designated public collection locations sponsored by P&G's Febreze brand as part of the Air and Home Care Recycling Program with recycling pioneer TerraCycle®.

Recycling reused plastic mailing satchels

Australian Post and our partner TerraCycle are now working together to recycle used mailing satchels with the launch of the Australia Post Mailing Satchel Brigade. Returning used mailing satchels to TerraCycle gives the satchels a second life, transforming them into useful new products including play equipment, wallets, bags and recycled plastic containers. The Lock Post Office will have a plastic bag recycling box at the Post Office. By dropping your bags into the Post Office, they will receive two cents per bag to donate to the school.
