Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Hobart City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Hobart City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in New Town can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
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 TAS council, Hobart City included.
