A recycled glass bottle saves enough energy to power a fridge for around a day.
Melting recycled glass uses less energy than making glass from raw sand, soda ash and limestone. The savings add up quickly across millions of bottles.
Place bins on the footpath or nature strip near the kerb, with the lid opening facing the road, and leave a gap of about half a metre around each one. Trucks with an automated arm need clear space and cannot reach bins blocked by cars, poles, or trees.
Most councils say bins should be at the kerb by 6 AM on collection day but can go out the evening before. Keep them off the road and clear of driveways, parked cars, and other bins.
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.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
