Recycling Collection

What you can recycle in your black bin

• all paper, cardboard and milk cartons
• plastic bottles and other clean food containers and bags (not polystyrene)
• glass bottles and jars
• aluminium and tin cans 

Here's a handy recycling guide - you can recycle all the green ticked items

If you use 2 bins, please put:

• glass in one bin only
• plastic and metals in the other
• paper and cardboard (maximum 5kg) in a paper or plastic bag on top of or beside the bin.

Only one bin of glass will be collected. 

You can take extra glass and other recyclables to the drop-off centre at AllBrites depot at 69 Innes Street.

If you use one bin, please put:

•  glass, plastic and metals together
• paper and cardboard (max 5kg) in paper or plastic bag on top of or beside the bin.

Please wash, squash and sort your recycling.  Products must be clean, caps removed and flattened.  Unacceptable items will be left in your bin.

If you move house, you should leave the recycling bin behind for the next occupiers.

Where you can buy an extra bin 

Each household can put out 2 recycling bins, if needed.

An extra recycling bin is available from council and AllBrites for $15 each. 

If you move in to a rental property and there is no recycling bin, contact your landlord or agent.

If you have just built a new house, you need to sign up for kerbside collection at council and you'll get your stickers and bin.

Look after your bin, try not to leave it out too long after it's been emptied.  If you lose your bin, you have to purchase another one.
