Stop the Bagging

Stop the Bagging. Red-lid These Bad Boys!

Recycling doesn't belong in a plastic bag

Keep your recycling items separate in your yellow-lid bin. Don’t throw out all your great recycling efforts because of a plastic bag. Not all plastic can be recycled kerbside and kitchen tidy bags or garbage bags are included in the bad boys list.

Watch out for these guys!

These bad boys have been playing havoc with Redlands Coast’s recycling efforts and Redland City Council needs your help to give them some serious redirection. The likes of Nasty Nappy and Obnoxious Onion and his food scrap gang have been increasingly getting into household recycling bins and damaging Council’s efforts to make the most of the 12,000 tonnes of recyclable waste collected each year.

Council wants these bad boys safely confined … in your red-lidded bin! To enlist your help, it has launched a new campaign called “It’s in our nature” to remind residents what should go where when it comes to waste – and how that recyclable milk bottle or aluminium can will come back full circle into your fridge as a new packaging item.

We live in such a naturally wonderful place and Council knows it’s in our nature to want to get our recycling right and ensure the bad boy gang – which includes the likes of plastic bags, food scraps, nappies, cereal box liners, chip packets (even when they look like foil), frozen veggie packets, old clothes and household batteries – get what’s coming: and that’s your red-lidded bin.
