Let’s Get it Sorted




Recycling is one of the easiest ways to keep material out of landfill.

Townsville residents recycle approximately 15,000 tonnes of household packaging materials every year – this is great work! Despite this, our bin health checks across Townsville have shown that each year we are still sending more than 10,000 tonnes of recyclable material to landfill through our general waste bins.

It’s time to look at how we can work together to keep improving our recycling efforts and recovering these valuable materials.

As well as understanding what can and can’t be recycled, we ask that your recyclables are free from food and other contaminants, never bagged, and free from broken glass or other hazardous materials.

Upsize to a 360L Recycling Bin

The 360L bin is ideal for households larger than three people and any recycling champions who have an overflowing recycling bin.
