COMMUNITY NEWSRecycle Right - but bewareof recycling mythsRecycling inside the home and outside inyour garden has evolved dramatically in thepast decade. As a result, what we may havethought can and can’t be recycled could nowbe quite wrong. It raises the question - haveyou fallen prey to the recycling myths? If so,valuable resources may not be recycled or,just as bad, become a contaminant in yourrecycling or organics bin. Recycling mythscan create confusion or misinformation. Zero Waste SA busts five ofthese myths for you.RECYCLING MYTH 1:“The triangular recycling symbol on plastic containers means I can recycleit.” The triangle with a number from 1 to 7 is not a recycling symbolbut rather a Plastic Identification Code (PIC). So whatplastics can be recycled in your council recycling bin?Rigid plastic bottles and containers that hold their ownshape, including plastic soft drink and milk bottles andtake-away containers. Just make sure they are rinsed andhave the lids removed. For more information, Zero WasteSA has a comprehensive guide to plastics displaying thePlastics Identification Code at www.zerowaste.sa.gov.au/at-home/recycleright/what-do-the-numbers-and-symbolson-plastics-meanRECYCLING MYTH 2:“It doesn’t matter what I put in my recycling bin - it all gets mixed with thegarbage bin and ends up in landfill” No! Your recyclables and waste donot all get mixed together. Recyclables go to a Materials Recovery Facilityto be sorted for reprocessing. In fact 2.76 million tonnes of materialwere diverted to recycling activities during the 2009–10 year and everyyear the amount of recycling diverted from landfill increases. Every daylarge volumes of recyclables are separated and sent to industry to bereprocessed into new products that reduce our demand for raw materialsand water. Did you know? Recycling 20 aluminium cans uses the sameenergy as making one new can from raw materials. Recycling glasssaves about 70% of the energy it takes to make a glass from raw materials.Recycling plastic saves up to 80% of the energy it takes to make newplastics.RECYCLING MYTH 3:“Anything recyclable can go into my council recycling collection bin.Someone will sort it anyway.”People do sort recyclables. But placing items in your recycling bin thatdon’t belong creates contamination. This increases recycling costs, putworkers in recycling facilities at risk and can damage machinery. WhileSouth Australians are excellent recyclers, in fact we’re leaders. But thereis room for improvement. Common recycling mistakes found in recyclingbins: Nappies Soft plastics/plastic bags Bottles and jars contaminated with food (a light rinse is sufficient) Lids still attached (please remove these and place them in your waste bin) Non-recyclable plastic packaging such as biscuit trays Foam meat trays Polystyrene packagingThese items should be placed in your waste bin. Contaminants have tobe removed from the recyclables and sent to landfill where it should havebeen sent in the first place. Sometimes these contaminants will have alsoruined what would have been good recyclables and consigned them tolandfill too.Please do your bit and Recycle Right.RECYCLING MYTH 4:“Rinsing your containers to recycle is a waste of water.” Just as recyclingsaves resources, greenhouse gas emissions and energy, itsaves a lot of water. Water savings from recycling in the past yearwere equivalent to the water used by 63,300 average Adelaide householdsin one year or the water contained in 4,800 Olympic-sized swimmingpools. So give those jars, bottles and containers a rinse to ensurethey are free from food contamination. You will save water in thelong term.RECYCLING MYTH 5:“Placing your recyclables in plastic bags is a neat way to recycle andmakes it easier for the people sorting.”Soft plastics create problems at the Material Recovery Facility (MRF)where recyclables are sorted so do not place them in the recyclingbin. Instead place these in your waste bin. For more information, ZeroWaste SA has a comprehensive search tool atwww.zerowaste.sa.gov.au/at-home/recycleright for what can and cannotgo in your recycling bin.Yes paper and envelopes newspapers, magazines, catalogues and junk mail cardboard boxes and egg cartons shredded paper (if contained inside a paper bag or box) cartons such as milk, juice and stock cartons pizza boxes with the food scraps removed aluminium and steel cans and tins empty and dry paint tins empty aerosol cans glass bottles and jars (with lids off and rinsed) plastic bottles and containers (with lids off and rinsed) yoghurt and butter containers (with lids off and rinsed)No No lids from jars and bottles plastic bags and other soft plastics food scraps packaging contaminated with food tissues and paper towel clothing and fabrics polystyrene packaging foam trays and cups crockery or drinking glasses mirrors, light globes, oven proof or window glass car parts or toys Nappies garden waste or organic materialTips for Recycling RightRemove all lids from jars, bottles and plastic containers and placethese in the waste binRinse containers - save water by using leftover dishwaterPlace recyclables loose into the yellow bin - do not place recyclablesin plastic bagsDo not mix recyclables,for example putting cans in boxesDo not bundle newspapers and cardboard"Article is from the summer edition of SA Garden andOutdoor Living magazine and provided by Governmentof SA and Zero Waste SA."SA Garden & Outdoor Living Supporter4
