Your recycling bin is collected fortnightly and is for all recyclable items such as:
- Paper and cardboard - newspapers, magazines, milk / juice cartons, egg cartons and cardboard boxes
- Plastics - rigid plastic containers from your kitchen, bathroom and laundry (lids go in the red landfill bin)
- Steel - food cans, empty aerosol cans, jar lids, coffee tins
- Aluminium - soft drink / beer cans, clean foil, scrunch foil into a tennis ball size
- Glass - bottles and jars only (all colours)
To ensure your recycling efforts don't go to waste, follow these simple guidelines:
Keep it simple - paper, cardboard, aluminium and steel cans, glass bottles and jars and rigid plastic can be recycled
Keep it clean - rinse containers before placing in the yellow recycling bin
Keep out small items - nothing smaller than a business card, including lids and never put batteries into the recycling
Keep it loose - don't put your recycling in the bin in bags or boxes
Keep out soft plastics - if you can scrunch your plastic into a ball easily it can't go in the yellow recycling bin
