-
NEVER
use fresh water to rinse recyclables, just use leftover dishwashing
or sink water.
-
Remove
lids or caps from all bottles and jars.
-
Make
sure paper/cardboard isn't contaminated with food, metals, glass or
plastic - TIP
- the paper not recycled can be used for lots of things around the
house. For example: wrapping food scraps, and making compost and
mulch.
-
Don’t
put waxed cardboard cartons (eg: boxes often used for transporting
fruit/veg) or plastic coated paper bags (e.g. cereal bags) in your
recycling bins.
-
Crush
your cans to save on space in your recycling bin. Make sure there
are no foreign objects such as stones in the cans as these can
interfere with the recycling process.
-
All
steel cans are recyclable - even aerosols, food & oil cans,
sardine cans and baby food cans. If you’re not sure whether it's a
steel can, check it with a fridge magnet as steel is magnetic!
-
No
plastic shopping bags - they contaminate recycling collections
and should be avoided! However, many supermarkets collect used
plastic bags for recycling. It is more economically viable to
recycle plastic bags via supermarket collection bins due to the
cleanliness and volumes of bags collected.
Our friendly
staff will be happy to discuss any waste management concerns.
