Most people want to do the right thing and recycle responsibly. Sometimes it is not clear what is and is not recyclable. This information comes from the Council’s booklet Rethink Waste – Recycle, Re-use, Re-purpose to Live More Sustainably which is available from the Information Centre. Recycling waste sometimes ends in landfill because it is contaminated. Knowing what you can and can’t recycle and sorting your recycling responsibly is one way to ensure this does not happen.
Lids
Plastic lids go in the Teracycle box outside the church Op Shop.
Metal bottle tops can be collected in a steel can, and when it is half full close it off and put it in the recycling bin. Metal jar lids can go straight into the recycling.
Soft Plastics
These are plastics you can scrunch up in your hand, such as plastic shopping bags, biscuit wrapping, cling wrap, bubble wrap, lolly wrappers and chip packets. At the moment they go in the rubbish bin. Hopefully Coles or Woolworths up the coast will soon start recycling these items again, but for now they go in the red bin!
With a team of passionate locals and nature enthusiasts, we run hands-on programs like bushcare and coastcare, town clean-ups, and a local native plant nursery. Our work extends to advocacy efforts to ensure the voices of our natural habitats are heard in policy discussions.
