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.
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every VIC council, Latrobe City included.
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Latrobe City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Hazelwood South can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Thursday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
General waste catches up next week, but Latrobe 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, Latrobe City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
