Keep up the great work everyone!
After a month of our kerbside rubbish and recycling collection service, great progress is being made across the Western Bay to divert waste from landfill.
Over 214 tonnes have been collected for recycling and composting in the opening month of our new kerbside collection service:
- 99.8 tonnes of recycling
- 77.6 tonnes of glass
- 37.5 tonnes food scraps
It's so important to get our recycling right. When a recycling bin is contaminated with dirty or unrecyclable items it can contaminate all of the recycling in the truck and lead to the whole load going to landfill. To improve your recycling skills, head to our website. If you're not sure which bin an item goes into, check our item handy sorter, or read the resources on our Bin-Fit page.
