To minimise outdoor recycling bin contamination:
-
Use a tightly fitting lid to keep out rainwater, which can soak paper and cardboard and make them non-recyclable.
-
Avoid placing items with food or liquid residue in the bin.
-
Educate household members on what can and cannot be recycled.
-
Secure bins properly to prevent animals or wind from scattering contents.
-
Label bins clearly to reduce mistakes.
Taking these steps helps ensure your recyclables remain clean and usable.
Kind regards,
