Mixed recycling bin - yellow lid

Your mixed recycling bin (yellow lid) will be collected fortnightly.

There is no change to the frequency of collection or size of the mixed recycling bin.

The only change is that all accepted glass must be diverted to your glass recycling bin (purple lid).

Recyclable items can be placed loose in your mixed recycling bin – do not place items in bags. Items need to be empty not necessarily clean. A quick rinse is typically adequate to reduce smell in your bin e.g. yoghurt container.

The following items (only) are acceptable in the mixed recycling bin: 

• plastic bottles e.g. milk cartons, shampoo container 
• plastic containers e.g. takeaway containers 
• aluminium food and beverage containers e.g. drink cans
• tin cans 
• paper e.g. newspapers and magazines 
• aluminium foil (balled up to tennis ball size) 
• cardboard e.g. cardboard boxes

The only change to your mixed recycling bin is that it can no longer contain glass. All glass must be placed in the Glass Recycling bin (purple lid).
