Solar heating tubing

Hi Julie,

Thank you for your recycling question.

Sections of solar heating tubing are not suitable for kerbside recycling, as these systems are designed for common household packaging like bottles, jars, and containers. Items like tubing fall outside this scope and can’t be processed through regular recycling streams.

If you only have a small amount, it’s best to dispose of it in your general waste bin. For larger volumes, especially from home improvements or renovations, you should take them to a facility that accepts construction or builder’s waste. Fees may apply.

Alternatively, some community or environmental groups—like wildlife rescue centres or botanical gardens—might be interested in reusing tubing for irrigation or habitat projects. If you do find a reuse option, let us know so we can share it with others!

Thanks again for reaching out. We’re always here for any other recycling questions you may have.

Thanks,
Murphy
