Recycling rule worth knowing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I put my bin on collection day?

Put your bin on the footpath or nature strip, close to the kerb, with the lid opening facing the street. Keep it at least half a metre from parked cars, power poles, trees, and other bins so the collection truck's arm can reach it.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough. Containers do not need to be spotless, just empty and free of large food residue. A few seconds under the tap, or a swish with leftover dishwater, keeps the load clean without wasting water.

Can I put broken glass in the recycling bin?

Unbroken glass bottles and jars belong in recycling. Broken glass is a safety hazard for sorting staff and collection workers. Wrap it in newspaper, place it in a sealed bag, and put it in the general waste bin instead.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling doesn't clean itself. A 10-second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps your bin from becoming a science experiment.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid won't close. Lids need to close for collection. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin isn't a mulching service, but it's as close as most households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
