Commingled recycling brings agreed recyclable materials together in one collection stream. It is useful in offices, hospitality venues and shared facilities, but it does not mean every item marked with a recycling symbol can go in the bin. Clear instructions matter as much as the bin itself.
Confirm your accepted materials
Ask us for the accepted-material list for your service before starting. Discuss items such as metal cans, plastic bottles and containers, and paper or cardboard. Glass, lids, foil and less common packaging need confirmation. A plastic resin code identifies the material; it does not automatically establish acceptance.
Keep contamination out
Empty food and liquid from containers and put accepted items in loose unless your service instructions say otherwise. Keep soft plastic bags, food scraps, batteries, electronics, ceramics, chemicals and clinical waste out. Place simple signs at disposal points so users do not need to guess.
Match your bins to the site
Tell us how many people use the building, which packaging accumulates and where bins are stored. We can discuss capacity and collection frequency alongside general waste and cardboard services. Check our Bin Sizes guide, then confirm the available container and access requirements for your Melbourne address.
