Recycling in your home |
|
|
Generally, the following materials can be collected from most homes for recycling:
o Paper and cardboard
o Glass bottles and jars
o Aluminium cans and foil
o PET plastic soft drink bottles and fruit juice bottles (Code 1 - PET)
o Plastic milk, cream and juice bottles (Code 2 - HDPE)
o Steel cans
o Milk and juice cartons
• Always check with your local council about what is collected in your area, as there is some variation from council to council in the materials collected for recycling.
• Be careful not to contaminate your recycling. While placing wrong materials or putting food waste in the recycling may seem harmless, it can contaminate the whole load. If there is too much contamination, it may not be accepted by recycling companies and could be sent to landfill.
