Kerbside bins play a key role in waste collection. A three-color system is adopted in most parts of Australia. The yellow bin is or recycling waste, the red bin for general household waste and the green bin for garden waste.
If you play a role in kerbside waste management and are looking to buy kerbside waste collection bins in bulk, here are the three things to consider.
Phone books are fully recyclable.
All curbside recycling programs accept phone books as mixed waste paper.
In communities without curbside recycling pick up, local recycling depots will accept them along with other mixed paper products.
If the phone book is wrapped in any plastic, please remove this packaging before recycling the phone book.
Call the RCBC Recycling Hotline for more information on recycling phone books in your community.
Established in 1990, the RCBC Recycling Hotline is a free, province-wide live information service for recycling, pollution prevention, waste avoidance, safe disposal options and regulations.
