Your recycling is transported to Cleanaway's Material Recovery Facility in Albury where it is sorted and then transported to various reprocessors, depending on the material, for recycling.

Recycling is not just about what you can put in your bin - we should always think about reducing our waste.

Reduce

 The best way to reduce your waste is to avoid creating it in the first place. Avoid buying items with lots of packaging as this wastes valuable resources. You throw them away and create rubbish which then produces more greenhouse gases.

Reuse

Choose and invest in reusable items like keep cups, cloth bags and a reusable water bottle. Look at ways to repurpose discarded items, especially one's that can't be recycled. Consider repairing rather than replacing.

Recycle

Recycling keeps usable materials out of landfill. Recycled materials can be turned back into raw materials that can be used in the manufacture of other items. Make sure you separate all recyclable items from your rubbish and put them in your recycling bin with the yellow lid.

• Don't place recyclables into plastic bags
• Avoid placing soft plastics into recycling bin
• Clean out containers and plastic bottles
• Buy Australian recycled products
• Use recycled paper and toilet paper
• E-waste can be recycled but not in your kerbside bin - please take to your nearest Resource Recovery Centre

If you have any questions please contact your Moira Shire on 5871 9222.

Moira Shire's kerbside collection service is designed for residential use. However, some businesses, schools and, commercial operations utilise Council's current kerbside collection service.

If your commerical business has a kerbside recycling bin, you may have a 120lt kerbside glass bin, if your business generates glass waste. This service is an opt in for businesses.

A kerbside organic collection service may be helpful to a commerical business selling food products with the change of collection frequency for organics to weekly. The need to avoid food and garden products going to landfill is vital, and a kerbside organics service is a great way to do so. 

Commerical businesses are not a part of the mandatory residential collection service, businesses can choose to move to a private service at any time, and choose which kerbside bin services they require.

If you have a commerical business and are interested in having a kerbside collection service, please contact Council. Please note, if you are a tenant, you will need the request to come from the property owner or the agent acting on their behalf.
