Recycling Tips
REMEMBER: If you aren't sure something is suitable for recycling, contact Council for advice on 02 9942 2111. That way, you won't be undoing all your good work. If you put your food scraps into a worm farm or compost bin you will reduced the amount of waste going to landfill by about 40% and produce your own fertiliser and compost.
