Recycling

 Collected fortnightly - Collection Days

Every recyclable item put out for collection is one less piece of waste going to landfill. Your contribution means that you are helping to close the loop - recyclable items are put back into the system and manufactured into new items, making better use of our resources.

 Monash residents will be awarded Silver Stars under a recycling rewards program
