Plastic meat trays are lightweight containers used to package fresh meat and poultry products. They are often made from foam or rigid plastic and may be wrapped in soft plastic film.
Disposal Options
- Foam Meat Trays – General Waste Bin
- Rigid Plastic Trays (clean) – Recycling Bin
- Plastic Wrap – General Waste Bin
Why
Foam trays cannot be recycled through kerbside systems, while some rigid plastics can be recycled if clean. Soft plastic wrap is not accepted in kerbside recycling.
