time to recycle

This week we're sharing our bin hacks. These are simple things you can do to get in the habit of recycling! 

Sorting solutions

It's a good idea to have a few places in your house where you can put recycling before taking it to your wheelie bin.

  • Have 2 indoor bins, one for general waste and one for recycling. Colour code or label them so they don't get mixed up! 
  • A cardboard box or crate can fit under sinks, counters or coffee tables
  • If you're tight on space, hang a bag on the back of a door!

Make space

This video demonstrates some ways you can make more space in your green bin!

  1. Squash bottles and put the lid back on
