Be a BINfluencer

Are you your street’s BINfluencer? Meet the 2025 BINfluencer Winners and find out how they get it sorted! 

BINfluencer noun

‘a person in your street that sorts household waste items into the right kerbside bins and takes the lead in putting the correct bins out on collection day, thus prompting neighbours to follow suit.’

Do you tick the BINfluencer boxes? 

✅ Have your household recyclables sorted?

I put glass bottles and jars, paper and cardboard, steel tins, aluminium cans, aerosols and accepted plastic containers (numbered 1,2,4,5) in my yellow lid recycling bin.

✅ Keep lids off your household recyclables?

I take lids off bottles, jars and containers before putting them in my yellow lid bin.

✅ Keep your household recyclables clean?

I give my recyclable food containers a quick rinse before putting them in my yellow lid bin.

✅ Keep your household recyclables loose?

I place all my recyclable items loose in my yellow lid bin and never bag/contain items.

✅ Place your yellow lid bin out correctly on its fortnightly collection day?

I ensure my bin lid is closed, bins have 30cm space between them and 1m distance from obstacles.  

If you ticked all these boxes you could enter the draw to win. Your entry was placed in a monthly draw and cross checked against your results of Council’s Bin Health Check Program.

March BINfluencer Winner - Courtney Abell

Courtney's Top Tip! Use a simple and easy sorting system like a bucket for loose and clean recyclables before placing them in the yellow lid bin.

April BINfluencer Winner - Matthew Higgs

Matthew's Top Tip! Living previously in apartments with communal recycling chutes taught us to sort recyclables into a bucket, now it’s a habit that’s stuck for good.

May BINfluencer Winner - Georgia Carroll

Georgia's Top Tip! Recycling doesn’t have to be perfect to make a difference. When millions of people do it, even imperfectly, the impact is huge. Start with small habits - over time, they become second nature.
