🌏 Box Divvy ReSmart Initiative 🌏
This week is National Recycling Week (10–16 November 2025), and this is the perfect time to get on board with our latest sustainability push:
Box Divvy is partnering with ReSmart (formerly RecycleSmart) and rolling out 350 shiny new 240L wheelie bins to Hubs across NSW/ACT. Because soft plastics don’t belong in landfill, and we can do better.
Our 2024 Southern Highlands trial proved it: six Hubs collected 750kg of soft plastics in just a few months. Now, thanks to a $17,235 NSW EPA grant (matched by Box Divvy), all our Hubs can join in.
So come on, Box Divvy community, let’s ditch the landfill, keep our planet happy, and show Australia how it’s done!
✅ What are soft plastics?
They’re the sneaky, crunchable plastics that council recycling bins can’t handle as they jam the machines.
Think plastic shopping bags, bread bags, snack wrappers, veggie bags, bubble wrap, and those annoying little plastic bits from parcels. Basically, anything you can fold, scrunch, or twist.
✅ Here’s the deal:
Members pay nothing.
Just sort and bring your soft plastics to the Hub and place into the labelled ReSmart bin (formerly RecycleSmart) on Hub collection day.
Box Divvy drivers will whisk them off to ReSmart, where they get turned into food-grade bags rather than become ocean confetti. Easy, guilt-free, and useful.
*We should have our bin by the end of November
