You may have noticed a green, red or orange tags on your bin. These tags are put in place to notify you when you have placed the wrong items in your bin or presented your bin incorrectly. This helps us reduce contamination that can result in recycling going to landfill unnecessarily. 

See below for tag references:

Red tag = Contamination. 
Contamination was found in your recycling bin. 

Orange tag = Incorrect bin presentation.
Your bin is either over filled (lid not shutting) or too heavy (over 70kg and truck couldn’t lift it). 

Green = Correct bin presentation and no contamination. 
Your bin has been presented correctly with no contamination. Thanks for doing the right thing. 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding waste, what items are accepted in each bin, or how to prevent over filling, please do not hesitate to contact Council on 1300 617 058. Let’s work together to create a greener and more environmentally friendly community.
