UNWRAP THE CONFUSION

HAVE THESE COMMON RECYCLING ERRORS GOT YOU CONFUSED?

PIZZA BOXES

Most people believe that empty pizza boxes can be recycled, which is only half true. Pizza boxes can only be placed in the recycling bin if they are free from grease and food – which is often not the case.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

Only one third of Australians are correctly disposing of aluminium foil. Providing it isn’t contaminated with food, scrunch aluminium foil into a golf-ball size and place in your recycling bin. It’s one of the most valuable items to recycle, as it can actually be recycled almost infinitely.

GLASS

Glass can be recycled, but did you know that broken glass can’t be? Once it’s broken, it will continue to break into smaller pieces and contaminate other materials. Broken glass, along with crockery and light globes, need to go into the rubbish bin.
