Hi Jackie,

Thank you for contacting us with your question. It’s important to safely dispose of combustible items like stove lighters.

Stove lighters cannot be disposed of in your kerbside recycling bin. The kerbside recycling system is designed to handle everyday packaging waste such as bottles, jars, and containers, so other plastic household items cannot be processed.

If you are certain the stove lighter is completely empty, it can be placed in your general waste bin.

Thank you for reaching out to Recycle Mate. Please feel free to contact us again anytime with your recycling enquiries.
