Our last bin audit revealed that over 30% of what is going in our kerbside yellow lidded recycling bins is contamination, such as soft plastics and bagged recycling. When a recycling bin is contaminated, it can sometimes mean that the load is unable to be separated or sorted correctly and must be sent to landfill instead – what a waste!
To help you to know which item goes in which bin, you can sign up for a free recycling do’s and don’ts fridge magnet on the Let’s Get it Sorted page of Council’s website before the end of April.
