Let's Get It Sorted Hinchinbrook! – Recycling at Home
Whether you have just moved out of home or got a busy family to keep up with, knowing what items can go in your yellow lid bin will help make sure we are recycling as much as we can and recycling correctly.
Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill which is good for the environment and your community.
Here are some simple ways to make sure you're getting your recycling sorted.
- Remember, keep it loose! Making sure your recycling is loose and not in a bag or box will help ensure facilities can sort and process it properly. So, make sure you never bag or box your recycling;
- Use a separate basket to collect recyclables from your kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. It's a simple way to make recycling at home a breeze in your household;
- Recycling aluminium and steel saves resources and uses less energy than producing these metals from raw materials. So, make sure your empty aerosol cans, aluminium foil and food tins go into your yellow lid bin; and
- Hard plastics, like shampoo and milk bottles, yoghurt tubs and ice cream containers, once recycled, can be turned into new products like garden furniture and decking whilst clear plastic bottles can be made into new bottles!
So Hinchinbrook, let's get our recycling sorted!
