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 exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks City of Launceston runs use an automated arm, and bins in Summerhill blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. Recycle Rewards refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in TAS, 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.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Summerhill?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Launceston 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.

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 Summerhill households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Summerhill 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.
