Bagged recycling is the second most common pollutant (after soft plastic) found in contaminated recycling bins.

When items that cannot be recycled are put into the recycling bin, contamination occurs. When bagging recyclables, the entire bag and its contents are considered contaminated and removed.

Some items that are not part of the recycling bin can still be recycled elsewhere.

Paper towels can be discarded in your food and garden bins and/or backyard compost.

Small household electronic waste (e-waste) such as batteries, cell phones, CDs, etc. can be recycled at the community recycle station located in the Bayside Enterprise Center in Sandringham and Beaumaris, Brighton and Sandringham Libraries. Larger quantities of articles or articles can be sent to the Tongyanwan Waste and Recycling Center. Use our comprehensive AZ waste and recycling catalog to find out where you can dispose of other household waste to dispose of items that cannot enter the recycling bin or bin

Do not put highly toxic substances such as chemicals in the trash can or dump into the sewer. Learn how to deal with toxic household items (detox your home).

Experts and the public recognize the Council’s commitment to improving access and inclusion.

The strong advocacy of the City Council means that Brighton’s Central Pier is ready for the summer.
