What`s the Best Way to Bring in My Bottle and Cans for Recycling?

So, if you're in Adelaide and you're just getting into bottle and can recycling, make sure you read up on it. Knowing what condition your bottles should be will save you a lot of stress and money because your bottles may not get accepted. Here are ways that can help make a smoother transaction when you bring your bottles for recycling and why:

The bottles and cans should be clean

It goes without saying that your bottles and cans should be clean. Dirty bottles and cans aren't recyclable so they will still need washing. The recycling facility workers will have to wash your dirty bottles and cans, and you will just be giving them extra work. 

And because you're not bringing in clean bottles, you may not receive the full money you're meant to receive. So, if you want fair pay in return for bottle and can recycling , make sure they're cleaned.

Make sure the bottles and cans are in good condition

Imagine you want to reuse something, and it's brought in bad condition. There's no way you'll be able to reuse that product, right? That's what happens with bottle and can recycling. It goes without saying that every bottle and can you bring in for recycling needs to be in good condition.

Ensure that the bottles are in such good condition that you could use it again if needed. This is because the bottles and cans go through various treatments they need to be in good shape.  This can also affect how much you get paid for your bottles, as some of the bottles may be unusable.

The bottles should have their corks removed

Remove the corks of the bottles you're bringing in. The corks can't go through the recycling process as they're very hard. And removing the corks beforehand will get you more cash in exchange for your bottles and cans.
