Greater Geelong Mayor Stephanie Asher

We thank the
community for their efforts in continuing to recycle over the past five months
by taking their materials to the resource recovery centres. The return of
the yellow bin recycling service from Monday is welcome news for us all, and
we’re now hoping everyone will quickly get back into the habit of sorting the
correct materials into the yellow bin.

There are some
changes to what can be put in and what can’t, so please help us achieve the
highest possible recycling rate by checking the list and following it closely.
One incorrect item in a yellow bin can unfortunately mean the entire contents
are unable to be recycled.
