STAYING SAFE


We want to keep the staff who collect your recycling safe. Safety is critical to Council and its contractors. If we continuously find non-recyclable and dangerous material in your recycling bins we may stop collecting your recycling.

 

Tips for cardboard and plastics

fall freely do not jam

The contents of your bin must fall freely into the truck — please do not jam oversized cardboard into your bin.

flatten boxes

Flatten boxes and where possible, cut down flat cardboard so it fits easily into your wheelie bin.

no buckets

Items such as buckets and washing baskets will not be collected. Only household plastic bottles and containers, plastics 1 and 2, from your kitchen or laundry

not 3l

Please don’t include any oversized plastics (nothing over 3 litres), meat trays or polystyrene.


Meat trays can’t be recycled because the dimpled plastic means they can’t be safely cleaned
