Yellow Bin - recyclables

Recycling helps to keep resources out of landfill, but only if we do it right. Rinse all plastic, tin and aluminium containers and remove any lids before placing in the bin. Make sure any liquids, grease, leftover food or unrecyclable items don’t contaminate the recycling.

For more information our booklet 'Your guide to Central Otago's new kerbside collection' can be found online HERE.

Want some more tips on what can go in your yellow bin? These videos produced by Ministry for the Environment (MfE) are designed to make it easier:

Your Council kerbside recycling goes to a materials recovery facility, or MRF, in Timaru. Once sorted and separated, recyclables are sent to local and international markets so they can have a second life. The Timaru MRF is operated by EnviroNZ.
