IMPORTANT RECYCLING INFORMATION

Lismore City Council has launched a new campaign – #RecycleRight – asking people to make some simple changes to our recycling routines. This has been developed with NE Waste and our neighbouring councils as a region-wide campaign across the Northern Rivers. The main message of this campaign is to keep it simple and ensure you are only placing clean and correct recycling materials in your yellow bin.

If we all do this, we can keep our resources coming ‘round and get the most life out of every product. Please see below our six easy #RecycleRight routines to follow. We also have a handy fridge magnet that tells you what goes in which colour bin. Pick one up free at our Corporate Centre in Goonellabah or your local library.
