Recycling electronics cables in Canberra

Speaking of recycling. I’d like to see weekly recycling collection in the ACT. The recycling bin is overflowing by mid-week sometimes. It’s not always viable to take the recycling beyond the yard to a recycling centre. The normal waste bin is lucky to go out more often than once a fortnight.

You can request an additional recycling bin through an online form, it costs the princely sum of $4.75/month.

Write to Shane – I am sure he is on your side.

I will be trying to achieve this in my jurisdiction. Especially now we have green waste bins.
