Default Recycling

Quick question - how do the Aussies go about recycling their household waste? Do you they have recycle bins in a public area like us?

slight variation per council - we have a smaller bin for general rubbish collected every week. Then 3 larger bins collected every fortnight (1 for paper, one for glass, tin, plastic, one for garden rubbish).
The every so often if you have finished with, say a chair, bed, toys, you put it out on the nature strip and people will help themselves to it, or will be picked up by council collections - AFAIK it cost to dump stuff at the tip.

Default Re: Recycling

We have three bins - general rubbish, glass/plastic/tin recycling and paper and cardboard recycling. They're all collected once a week, but I think that's because we're in a complex.

It works out quite well but they have relatively few recycling bins and they are always overflowing whereas there's loads more ribbish bins that are empty, which I find a bit frustrating!
