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.
Recycling and garden organics are collected fortnightly in many councils, so a missed night can mean waiting two weeks. Some councils let you report an overflowing bin for a special collection. Check your council's website for their missed collection process.
Put your bin on the footpath or nature strip, close to the kerb, with the lid opening facing the street. Keep it at least half a metre from parked cars, power poles, trees, and other bins so the collection truck's arm can reach it.
Every Australian state and territory now runs a container deposit scheme, paying 10 cents for eligible drink containers returned to a depot or reverse vending machine. Containers you redeem this way are kept separate from your kerbside recycling.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
