Yellow lidded Kerbside Bin
Commingled waste recycling bin (cleanaway.com.au) At collection, the driver will do a visual check of the recycling bin to ensure there’s no contamination – like plastic bags, food,nappies or textiles. The recyclables will then be transported to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for processing. A combination of automated machinery and manual sorters sort the recyclables into different streams to be baled.
