Did you know?

Recycling one tonne of paper saves around 13 trees and thousands of litres of water.

Paper can be recycled five to seven times before the fibres become too short. Keeping it clean and dry in the yellow bin is what makes that possible.

Frequently asked questions

How do I dispose of large items like furniture?

Bulky items such as mattresses and furniture do not go in any kerbside bin. Most councils offer a hard waste collection, either booked on demand or on set dates. Check your council's website for what is accepted and how to arrange it.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is recyclable. If the base is soaked with grease and cheese, tear off and recycle the clean lid, and put the greasy part in general waste. Oil contaminates the paper recycling process.

What counts as contamination?

Contamination means putting the wrong items in the recycling bin: food-soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items, or anything not specifically accepted kerbside. High contamination can cause an entire truck load to be sent to landfill.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It's a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Wishful recycling isn't recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best isn't recycling. It's contamination. When in doubt, it's general waste.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
