All bins video transcript
Woman dressed in green: Hi everyone. Today I'm here to share important tips on waste management and recycling in Logan City. Let's make sure we're doing our part correctly to keep our city clean and green.
Description: Three green bins are pictures on a kerb outside a home. The first has a yellow lid, the second has a red lid and the third bin has a dark green lid.
Woman dressed in green: In our homes, we have access to three bins. The recycling bin has a yellow lid. The general waste bin has a red lid and the garden waste bin has a lime green lid.
Each plays an important role in responsible waste disposal and resource recovery for our city. And different items are accepted in each. The yellow lid recycling bin is for recyclers only.
Text on screen: Recycling Bin
Description: Cardboard and scrunched up paper with a green tick. Alluminium cans and aluminium foil with green tick.
Please place materials like cardboard, paper, firm plastic, aluminium and steel cans, glass bottles, and jars in this bin. Remember, don't bag your recyclables. Just place them loose in the bin.
Description: Batteries, coffee cups and glass are pictured with a red X.
You can leave lids on containers. No need to remove them.
However, please ensure you never put batteries, soft plastics, coffee cups, or broken glass in this bin. Next, the lime green lid garden waste bin is solely for garden waste like flowers, leaves, grass clippings, and weeds.

This material is turned into valuable compost which can be used on community parks and gardens. Don't place heavy logs in this bin. Bin contents can't be too heavy and lids need to be closed. Please do not use this bin for regular waste or recyclables or hazardous items because it can contaminate compost.

Lastly, the red lid general waste bin is for general waste only such as ceramics, nappies, plastic bags, and typical household waste.
Woman is green: Please do not place hazardous items such as batteries, building materials, electronics, gas bottles, or harmful substances in any bin. These items can cause fires and harm the community.
