Summer on the Mornington Peninsula means more time spent with family and friends, and with that often comes extra recycling. To help, Mornington Peninsula Shire is now collecting household recycling bins every week until January 26.
Recycling bins will be collected weekly on the same day as the usual fortnightly recycling service, including public holidays. Residents are reminded to only place accepted items in their bin: paper, cardboard, newspaper and magazines; glass bottles and jars; hard plastic containers; milk and juice cartons; aluminium and steel cans, foil trays, empty aerosols and aluminium foil scrunched into a ball; and plastic bottles. Bottles, cans and other beverage containers with the 10c refund mark can be taken to a Return-it collection point for a refund.
Items that can’t be recycled include hazardous materials such as batteries, gas bottles, oil, vapes and paint; plastic bags and soft plastic packaging; food or garden waste; cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils; clothing, linen, shoes and toys; garden appliances and equipment; nappies; and polystyrene.
Extra recycling or large items that can’t fit in the recycling bin can be dropped off at a resource recovery centre free of charge. Other household recyclables can also be disposed of at the shire’s recovery stations or recycling trailer.
