I just found out recently that we can only put specific clear plastic items in there, and not the other plastic colours (with the same #). Been messing up the recycling for ages without realising 😒
It also varies depending on which company is doing the pickup, so something that is fine in one council area might not be in another. My old council had a fairly wide range of things that could go in the recycling, Ballarat you can’t even recycle glass at the moment, and the range of plastics is much smaller.
People who put inappropriate things in the recycling piss me off. An esky and a full stove top this time ffs!
I only put the dunny seat in there because it was clean and it said “recyclable” on there. I was trying to do the right thing, ok. 🙂
