The Benefits of Recycling

Recycling has numerous benefits, not just for the environment, but for the community as well. By recycling, you help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill, conserving valuable space and resources. Additionally, recycling helps to save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the need for raw materials.



The recycling Cairns residents rely on is part of a global movement to conserve natural resources and create a more sustainable future. When you recycle, you're not only making a positive impact in your own community, but you're also contributing to the preservation of the planet for future generations.

Common Recycling Mistakes

Recycling is simple, but there are a few common mistakes that can reduce the effectiveness of the process. These mistakes often involve contamination, improper sorting and placing items in the wrong bins. Some common errors include:

• Contaminating recyclables with food residue or liquids
• Placing non-recyclable items in the recycling bin (like plastic bags or food wrappers)
• Crushing containers before recycling, which can make them harder to process
• Failing to separate materials like paper, plastics, and metals



By avoiding these mistakes, you help ensure that recyclables are processed properly and don’t end up in landfill. It’s important to always check the guidelines for what can and can’t be recycled in your area and make sure your recyclables are clean and sorted.
