Week 1: I resolve to use my home recycling correctly and to find drop-off locations for items that can't be recycled at home
Date: 06-Jan-09
Contamination is a big problem when sorting and processing recycling. For example, just 5 grams of window or drink ware glass is enough to contaminate a whole tonne of recyclable glass.
To find out what can and can't go in your home recycling bin, and to find drop off locations for a whole range of items, from computers to corks, pick up your free limited edition recycling sticker at your nearest Australia Post.

Commitment Statement
I will use my home recycling correctly and find drop-off locations for items that can't be recycled at home.
