Resource Smart

Corks (both natural and synthetic) should not be put in your recycling bin at home. Use the directory to find recycling drop-off locations for natural corks or organisations that accept corks for reuse projects.

New recycling program for corks

Natural corks can be dropped off for recycling through a pilot program by ReCork:

• Collection units are located at participating Dan Murphy’s stores in the ACT, NSW, SA, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria.
• Use the directory on this page to find a store near you. 

Natural corks from wine and sparkling wine bottles can be recycled through the program (please remove any packaging such as wire or aluminium foil). Synthetic/plastic corks are currently not accepted.
