Don't bin your unwanted textiles, recycle them

To celebrate National Recycling Week from 7-13 November, the City of Casey has some fantastic free events to help you declutter your home and get some great tips on how to recycle right.

This year's theme is Waste isn't waste until it is wasted, and our focus is on unwanted textiles which makes up a significant portion of our landfill and is a major contaminant in our recycling.

Textiles such as clothes and shoes can't be recycled as part of your fortnightly kerbside collection, but we've partnered with Tread Lightly and Upparrel for a free drop-off event to help Casey residents responsibly dispose of unwanted items.

On Saturday 12 November, bag up your used sneakers, clothing and sheets and drop them off at the Lynbrook Community Centre from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm.
