Bring your plastic bottle tops, bread tags, ring-pulls and other items for recycling at this monthly community event at the City of Melville EcoHub. Bottle Top Hill (BTH) is a not-for-profit, 100% volunteer-run event focusing on items which ARE recyclable but cannot go in your yellow-lidded recycling bin because they’re too small. We make sure these items are part of a circular economy by avoiding sending them to landfill or incineration, or ending up as litter.
Items we accept (please separate them prior to arrival):
- All plastic bottle tops (leave in the foam insert. Remove any cardboard or aluminium)
- Plastic bread tags (no cardboard)
- Plastic beer can clips/holders
- Plastic contact lens cases
- Plastic eye drop ampoules
- Plastic cards (wallet size, clean)
- Plastic straws (clean)
- Plastic shoyu-tai (aka soy-sauce sushi fish, clean)
- Plastic trigger pumps (metal/springs must be removed prior)
- Small steel / aluminium bottle tops & lids
- Aluminium can ring pulls
- Corks
- Oral care waste
- Razors (disposable)
- Medicinal asthma inhalers (dry powder inhalers not accepted)
- Medical blister packs (fees apply)
- Pens, highlighters, markers (no pencils)
- We are a public donation point for GIVE WRITE
Also at the EcoHub is a receptacle to drop off household batteries, light bulbs, printer cartridges and mobile phones and their chargers.
Your kind donation is appreciated: a small donation at the door helps keep our event going while your attendance keeps our volunteers motivated! Any support is greatly appreciated.
