Public place recycling bin changes – making it easier to recycle right
We’re simplifying our public place recycling to help reduce waste and contamination.
We’re removing 31 mixed recycling stations and keeping 24 bins in key spots. From mid-November 2025, the remaining bins will be re-labelled for glass or cans only. These remaining bins will be rewrapped for glass or cans only, starting mid-November 2025.
Why?
- Bins are being moved to where they’ll be most useful for our community.
- Fewer bins mean less clutter and efficiency for our waste collectors, resulting in lower costs for ratepayers.
- Mixed recycling often gets contaminated and ends up in landfill.
- Clear bin labels make it easier to recycle right.
What you can do
Use the right bin when you're out and about, and keep an eye out for our new Cans bins.
Together, let’s send less waste to landfill.
