Recycling Tips

To maximise space in your bin, crush plastic bottles and containers, place smaller jars and bottles in larger jars and break up cardboard boxes.

In windy weather, try to layer items according to weight to help 'anchor' the bin and avoid it being blown over. Place a brick on the lid to avoid it being blown open.
