Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Mount Martha can send a whole truck to landfill, and Mornington Peninsula Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
General waste catches up next week, but Mornington Peninsula Shire 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, Mornington Peninsula Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
