A recycled glass bottle saves enough energy to power a fridge for around a day.
Melting recycled glass uses less energy than making glass from raw sand, soda ash and limestone. The savings add up quickly across millions of bottles.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Nillumbik Shire runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Research's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
