Are you using your blue lid bin correctly?

 

Council would like to thank those that have embraced the blue lid bins and are using them correctly. These bins are for the recycling of clean cardboard and paper only, not for all ‘recyclable’ products as Council is not geared to accept and sort all recyclables at this stage.

There is still a significant amount of contamination coming through, either other recyclables, green waste or general waste, resulting in the cardboard and paper ending up in landfills. As of Thursday, 13/10/2021 Council will start issuing letters to the addresses where contamination is flagged. Following these letters Council will be implementing a 3 strikes policy resulting in the eventual removal of the blue lid bin.
