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.
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Ocean Shores can send a whole truck to landfill, and Byron Shire can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
