Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

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

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Canterbury-Bankstown City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Canterbury-Bankstown City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
