A free recyclables drop off day will be held on Saturday, February 20 at the Leumeah Station commuter car park from 8am to 12pm.
“This is a great opportunity to get rid of any of those excess recyclables and reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill,” says Cr Brticevic.
Any items that would normally be placed in the yellow-lid recycling bin can be dropped off, including aluminium cans, clean aluminium foil and pie trays.
Also cardboard boxes, cereal boxes, clean pizza boxes, milk and juice cartons.
Empty plastic bottles and containers from the kitchen, bathroom and laundry only and marked with a plastic identification code can also be dropped off.
As can empty steel cans and aerosol cans, glass bottles and jars minus the lids, paper, magazines, newspapers, telephone books and envelopes.
Residents can also dispose of polystyrene from furniture and delivery packaging.
However polystyrene must be separated from other packaging and other recycling items.
Only domestic quantities of recyclables and polystyrene will be accepted.
