**Share to help educate about household recycling**

Throwing soft plastics into the recycling bin is still the most common recycling mistake made by Australians, according to new research by Planet Ark.

A survey of 180 councils commissioned by the environment organisation for Recycling Week asked councils to identify what were the most common recycling mistakes made by their residents.

Forty-six per cent of councils said the number one issue was that too many people were still putting soft plastics, which are not recyclable, into their recycling bins.

This was followed closely by residents making the mistake of putting their recyclable waste into plastic bags before disposing of them, with 41% of councils saying this was a problem.
