Plastic and Packaging

We do our best to limit our use of unnecessary packaging and plastics.

Whilst the majority of your produce and products will be delivered in recycled boxes or paper bags, sometimes plastic bags may be used by stores to label your items so that they don't go missing during the day.

We're often working with our retailers on what we can do together to lower our environmental impact. 

What about the boxes and esky bags?

Yes you can absolutely return the YourGrocer bags and boxes to us! We love to reuse and recycle them. 

We'd be more than happy to do a trade during your next delivery. Otherwise, if you don't think you'll be home, feel free to leave them out and let your driver know by adding a delivery instruction to 'please collect bags'. 

Please note - boxes for return must be clean and not soggy/rain damaged so that we can meet our food health and safety guidelines.

Icepacks

To keep our deliveries cool, our cold bags contain at least one frozen ice pack each. These ice packs are non toxic and completely food safe! When you return them we clean and reuse them. 

You can return ice-packs by leaving them in any YourGrocer esky bags you are returning. It’s a great help to us!
