The most important thing of making correct recycling is to put the right stuff in the yellow bin.
This is a list of the right stuff to recycle.
* Clean plastic bottles and containers numbered 1&2&5
They are things like soft drink bottles, milk bottles and family-sized yoghurt and ice cream containers.
* Metals: aluminium cans, metal tins or aerosol cans
* Clean glass: clear and coloured glass bottles or jars
* Clean cardboard and paper: newspapers, flattened cardboard boxes
And please also remember to put lids from bottles and containers in the red bin.
Please notice that you may receive a warning letter if waste was not separated from your yellow bin, and you may further lose your right to recycle if you continue to do so after 3-times warnings. The yellow bin will be confiscated by the Christchurch City Council. To get the bin back, you will have to pay $97.65 and sign a statement promising to abide by the rules. Your bin will be monitored to make sure you keep that promise.
