It’s great to see so many Gannawarra residents doing the right thing when it comes to recycling. ♻️

By placing the correct items in your yellow-lid recycling bin, you’re helping to make sure valuable materials are recovered and reused, rather than ending up in landfill.

A quick reminder that items such as soft plastics, shredded paper, tissues and broken glass can’t go in your recycling bin and should be placed in your red household waste bin instead. It’s also best to keep recyclables loose, as plastic bags can’t be recycled through your household recycling service.

For more tips on what can and can’t go in your bins, visit www.gsc.vic.gov.au/waste
