Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

How often is recycling collected in Devonport?

Devonport City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Devonport City offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Devonport, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What happens if I miss bin night in Devonport?

General waste catches up next week, but Devonport City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Devonport City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Devonport bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Devonport households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
