Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

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

Frequently asked questions

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.

What counts as contamination?

Contamination means putting the wrong items in the recycling bin: food-soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items, or anything not specifically accepted kerbside. High contamination can cause an entire truck load to be sent to landfill.

Can I put my bins in any spot on the kerb?

Place bins on the footpath or nature strip near the kerb, with the lid opening facing the road, and leave a gap of about half a metre around each one. Trucks with an automated arm need clear space and cannot reach bins blocked by cars, poles, or trees.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Loose, not bagged. Tip your recycling in loose. A tied bag can't be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single un-flattened box can eat half your recycling bin. Break it down first and you'll fit a fortnight of cardboard without a fight.
  • 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.
