Which bin does a pizza box go in? Recycling questions answered
Have you ever gone to toss something into the recycling bin – a jam jar, a pizza box, a takeaway container encrusted with yesterday’s lunch – and wondered if you’re doing it right?
Perhaps you asked yourself, ‘should I scrub the jar with hot water? Scrape the mozzarella off the box? Wash off that palak paneer’?
Research shows most Australians believe they are good recyclers. But only 25 per cent of people separate waste correctly and up to 35 per cent of recycling goes to landfill unnecessarily. And one in four Australians tends not to rinse or empty food containers before sending them to the bin.
The problem is not helped by different recycling practices between councils, which causes public confusion.
