Hunter Resource Recovery

Ever "just chuck it in" when you're not sure? You're not alone. ♻️🤔

Bazza's new series, Street Sort, is putting Hunter Valley locals to the test.
This week's myth? Wishcycling. 🤞

Guessing feels like the safe option — but it's not. Putting the wrong stuff in recycling can contaminate the whole load.

✅ Not sure? Check hrr.com.au or the sticker on your bin before you bin it.

♻️ RECYCLABLE vs 🌱 COMPOSTABLE vs ⏳ BIODEGRADABLE

Confused? You're not alone.

Just because something is compostable or biodegradable doesn't mean it belongs in your recycling bin.

Watch to learn:
✅ What recyclable means
✅ What compostable means
✅ What biodegradable means

Knowing the difference helps keep recycling streams cleaner and improves the quality of materials that can be turned into new products.

A recycling mistake many of us don't realise we're making. ♻️😬

Bazza's new series, Street Sort, is putting Hunter locals to the test.

This week's myth? Bagged recycling. 🛍️♻️

It looks organised, but it's actually one of the biggest recycling mistakes. Bags can't be sorted, so everything inside can end up going to landfill.

✅ Empty it loose into the recycling bin.

Ever stood at the bin, squinting at a little triangle, wondering what in the flamin' heck it actually means? 🤔 You're not alone.

Here's what most people get wrong: that numbered triangle isn't a recycling symbol — it just tells you the type of plastic. 😳 "Compostable" doesn't mean recyclable either. And the label that actually tells you what to do? It's the little tag that says Recyclable / Conditionally Recyclable / Check Locally.

So before you bin it — check the label. 👀

Bazza thought he'd seen it all. Then a tradie rocked up and tried to fit an ENTIRE reno in the recycling bin. Timber, cement bags, insulation, PVC pipe — the lot. 🦢🔧

Spoiler: none of it belongs there. Bazza sets him straight (and shows him where it actually goes).

Big stuff like timber and insulation? Skip bin's ya best mate. Smaller bits — general waste'll do ya just fine.
