PLASTIC BREAD TAGS (not cardboard, if you can tear them in half they're cardboard and go in your green bin).
NO MORE COLLECTIONS! 😭
Transmutation are no longer taking plastic bread tags.
Many thanks to everyone who had been collecting them. Thanks to RedB4 and the lovely ladies who have passed them on to Rotary. Thousands have been saved from landfill and helped Rotary 's fundraising effort.
FOR ONE WEEK ONLY: collection for anyone who has some still at home.

Corks are no longer collected anywhere. You can chop them up and put them in your own compost, NOT in the green bin.
If there is anyone who would like them for creative projects please leave us a comment.

Yes even X-rays are able to be recycled! Sorry not in Benalla. As you might notice in the photo this in the ACT. Nevertheless do ask around and let Wastewise Benalla know if you find a drop off location nearer to us.

Here's Ed Space Renew Resources' new recycling filing cabinet. Now Benalla has two locations to deposit those harder to recycle items like pens, dental products, little lids etc.
Do enjoy a coffee next door at the Ed Space Cafe.
Needless to say the filing cabinet in the Seniors and Community Center is still going strong.

Hooray! Benalla Council has installed the side baskets for the 10 cent containers. Council has acknowledged this was suggested by Wastewise Benalla. Whoever collects the bottles/cans and takes them to Footts CDS will be the richer!

Just a reminder regarding our yellow lid recycling bins. Please keep items separate and loose. Whilst folding boxes and crushing items are great for space saving mixing recyclables is a nuisance.
Keep up the great work, every little bit helps.

E waste is an ongoing problem. Yes it does cost to do the right thing to dispose of it. Apparently it is no longer free disposal in Wangaratta. It is a good idea to chat with your out of town friends because there are still some Councils that will accept
E waste free.
Wastewise Benalla will be asking for a free weekend for E waste along the lines of the Green waste weekend. Watch this space.🤞

Researchers have found that, on average, a litre of bottled water included about 240,000 tiny pieces of plastic. About 90% of these plastic fragments were nanoplastics.

They have developed an imaging technique that detected thousands of tiny bits of plastic in common single-use bottles of water. The technique can help to shed light on the presence and impact of extremely small particles called nanoplastics, which are widespread but poorly understood.
