We have installed mini recycling stations at some locations around Manningham to make it easier to recycle common household items that you cannot put into your bins.
When these items - like small e-waste, batteries, globes and ink cartridges - reach the end of their life they can be harmful to the environment if they are sent to landfill. Our processor is able to recycle between 93 and 98 per cent of these products.
