Glass jars and bottles can be put in your yellow-lid recycling bin or taken to any Waste and Recycling Centre for free (for loads under 1m3). No need to rinse.
Plastic and metal lids larger than a credit card size can also be placed in your yellow-lid recycling bin. Smaller lids should be placed in the red-lid landfill bin.
Some eligible containers can be redeemed using the NSW Container Deposit Scheme, Return and Earn for a 10c refund - find your closest Return and Earn Reverse Vending Machine.
