Here's a great recycling list with excellent graphics from a super Wangaratta recycler.
I hope everyone notes the mistake with large lids from milk bottles. Rotary are no longer collecting these. Please just pop the lid into the bottle.
Rotary in Benalla are still collecting the little lids from soft drink, water and UHT cartons. There's a big yellow lidded bin behind Rambling Rose in Benalla to deposit these. Why not stop and enjoy a coffee when you drop off your donation?

The Glad free recycling program is a handy way to reduce your plastic going into landfill. Glad accepts clean cling wrap, freezer bags and sandwich bags (even those from other manufacturers), mailed back to Glad after joining up with the program on line. It works well if you team up with friends or neighbors to collect the accepted plastic, and especially those who have a newspaper delivered in the plastic wrap. Naturally the best idea is to skip plastic altogether but it does seem to keep turning up!

Textiles and clothing which is clean but not fit for sale can be donated to two Op shops in Benalla. Yooralla and the Olive Tree will accept these items. Keep old clothing out of your red landfill bin!

These numbers cannot be recycled in your yellow recycling bin.
Code3: polyvinyl chloride
PVC includes pipes, toys etc and is difficult to recycle and a health threat.
Code4: low density polyethylene
is used to create plastic bags of varying types. Some Council areas have an orange bag collection but not yet in Benalla. Terracycle runs a free program through Glad which takes freezer bags, sandwich bags and cling wrap.
Code6: Polystyrene is manufactured from petroleum and is very contaminating in landfill. Wangaratta Transfer Station accepts polystyrene.
Code7: all other plastics which can include anything from acrylic to nylon and must not go in the recycling bin.

We hope this clears up some of the confusion with recycling plastics.

Good news! This lid collection bin is behind Rambling Rose in Benalla, almost on the corner of Bridge and Carrier Streets. Currently we are only collecting little lids, water bottle lids, UHT container lids and soft drink lids. This is a fund raiser for Rotary so please make sure that the lids are clean and please don't contaminate with other lids.
We are NOT saving milk bottle lids at this stage.
Ps I hope everyone saved the foil from their Easter eggs! No foil for the soil!

Good news! Bras! Something else to keep out of landfill.
Rotary is undertaking another helpful strategy. Project Uplift collects bras and sends them to the ladies on the Islands who have no way to purchase a bra.
Wastewise will collect these in our filing cabinet at the Seniors and Community Centre. Watch out for the new drawer label.
