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.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Tannum Sands's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Gladstone Regional asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Tannum Sands can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every QLD council, Gladstone Regional included.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
