My local recycling joint (in WA) takes them crushed. The technology exists. Are the recyclers in Victoria privately operated like the ones here are?
The big joints that go by weight take crushed, but are not keen on domestic quantities. This new return paid by individual item scheme is actually asking us to do loads of work to get 10c back. I’ll probably be largely still using the yellow bin. My down time is worth more.
Here is our recycling machine thingy separating cans and plastic bottles. Caution: these places are loud.
That is a fun looking smashy bashy! Would wear my cancelling plugs and attempt.
The kids love doing this. I've trimmed them out of the video, but the full video shows them jumping with exitement. They come away with about $20ea from these excursions.
