What can I recycle?

Check for a 10¢ refund symbol

Bottles and cans with a 10¢ refund symbol can be recycled.  They need to be liquid-free, uncrushed and barcode intact. Lids need to be removed. Wine and spirits are now part of the scheme in Queensland.

100% Clean Recycling

No contamination, just the circular economy at work

Even if you do right by your yellow bin, your recycling can still end up in landfill. All it takes is a passer-by’s banana peel to contaminate the whole truckload! Make sure your recycling actually gets recycled, and get paid for it.
