Have you ever asked yourself the question...."Can I recycle this?"
We all need to reduce, reuse, recycle and buy recycled, to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
Sustainability Victoria has some excellent guides on general recycling, household waste, furniture and household items and food and garden waste to make your household recycling easier to understand.
Get it right on bin night is a great website to to visit to download resources, check what is recyclable in the different rooms in your house and what happens to your recycling after it has been put into the bin.
