Mornington Peninsula Shire is increasing the frequency of its kerbside recycling service over summer.
From now until January 27, household recycling bins will be collected weekly instead of fortnightly. The following items can be recycled:
Paper, cardboard, newspaper and magazines
Glass bottles and jars (lids removed)
Hard plastic containers
Milk and juice cartons
Aluminium steel cans, trays, empty aerosols, and foil scrunched into a ball
Plastic bottles (not lids)
These items can’t be placed in recycling bins:
Plastic bags or soft plastic packaging
Food or garden waste
Cutlery or crockery
Clothing, linen, shoes and toys
Garden appliances and equipment
Nappies
Hazardous materials including batteries, gas bottles, oil and paint
Polystyrene
Residents with extra recycling or large items that can’t fit in their recycling bin can drop them off free of charge at the Shire’s resource recovery centres. Some other household recyclables that can’t go in your kerbside recycling bin can also be disposed of at the Shire’s recovery stations or recycling trailer. Residents can also order an extra recycling bin for a one-off fee of $80.
