Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Summer bins need managing. A Cooroy red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Noosa's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Noosa tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
