Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Seaton's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Seaton households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Summer bins need managing. A Seaton red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
