Cardboard goes in kerbside recycling, tape and all. Soft plastics need a drop-off point (check recyclingnearyou.com.au), or keep the wrap if you might return the product. Premium Delivery removes all packaging for you.

Your Koala packaging is designed to be recycled or reused. Here&apos;s how to deal with each part of it.
Cardboard boxes and honeycomb cardboard Flatten or tear up the boxes and pop them in your kerbside recycling bin. You don&apos;t need to remove tape or labels; they come off during the recycling process.
Soft plastic wrap Soft plastics can&apos;t go in most kerbside recycling bins. Check <a href="https://recyclingnearyou.com.au">recyclingnearyou.com.au</a> or your local council for drop-off options in your area. If you&apos;re thinking about the 120-night trial, hold on to the plastic: you&apos;ll need it to wrap the product for collection, and having it on hand makes a return much faster.
Foam, timber offcuts and other materials These vary by product. Your local council&apos;s website will tell you what&apos;s accepted in your area.
Rather we take it away? Premium Delivery, available at checkout for eligible metro postcodes, includes delivery to the room of your choice, assembly, and removal of all packaging so it&apos;s recycled properly. <a href="https://au-koala.gorgias.help/en-US/articles/premium-delivery-service-183130">More about Premium Delivery</a>.
