Be a BINfluencer

Are you your street’s BINfluencer? The 2026 BINfluencer Competition is now open! Put your best recycling habits forward for the chance to be crowned one of this year’s six BINfluencers.

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, enter now, to go into the draw to win! Your entry will be cross referenced with results from Council's Bin Health Check program and then placed in the draw until six winners are successful.
