Household Recycling & Collections | IWK Resource Recovery

IWK Household Recycling Collections

IWK have provided crates and bags so that you can place your household recycling at your gate, to be picked up by the Kerbside Collections team every Thursday morning. To make it easier and more efficient, here are a few simple guidelines to follow...help us to help you.

Any recycling that is dropped off at the yard or collected kerbside cannot be contaminated. We cannot process dirty recycling.
Use your green bag for all your paper and lightweight paper. This will help eliminate loose paper blowing around on windy days.
Place cans & plastic recyclables in your large black & green crate, and glass in the smaller green crate.
Cardboard can be flattened, tied up and placed under your crates.
Remember to Wash & Squash, and have your recycling out to the kerbside by 7am
Our collection team has been split up to cover the route, so if you see your crates have collected, but your paper is still there, don't worry, our team will be there and everything will be picked up on Thursday.

Any questions give us a call on 03 319 7148
