Kerby

Recyclable dry, clean waste.

In this bin goes all your mixed recyclable, dry waste.

Like plastic, glass, paper and aluminium products.

Try avoid any contaminated recyclables and please wrap any broken glass.

Not
Kerby

Compostable if it grows, in it goes.

Like coffee grounds, vegetables, fruit, bread and eggshells.

Avoid bones, fish, dairy products, meats, oils and fats. And always use sunscreen. Plus eat your vegetables. And call mom and tell her you love her.

Still
Not Kerby

General not sure? Throw here.

This includes any wet or food contaminated waste, and things like tissues, which cannot be recycled. Oh, and nappies. Nappies = gross.
