​

What can I put in the bin?

Any cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles, small milk cartons with a 10c Deposit stamp printed on label.

​

Do I need to take the lids off?

Yes, removing the lids assists in the recycling process at the depot.

 

Can I put wine bottles and 2L Milk containers in the drum?

Unfortunately, wine bottles and 2L milk containers don’t have a 10c deposit stamp so cannot go in our drums. They can however be placed into council recycling bins.

 

Does it matter how long it takes to fill up?

Take as long as you need to fill the drum, when your drum is full simply contact Clarke Brothers and we will organise collection, and replace with another drum.

 

How often do you collect the drum?

We try to collect the drum within the week of being contacted, this can be subject to workload.

 

Does the drum come with a lid?

Can the drum be left outside in the weather?

Yes, the drums are made from steel and can be left outside or inside, whichever suits your needs.

Can I put 1.25L and 2L bottles in the drum?

Absolutely, we only ask that you crush any plastic bottles larger than 600ml.

 

Can I get more than one drum at a time?

Yes, however we generally only provide one drum to households due to the length of time to fill the drum is longer than a business. On request, we can provide more than one drum to households if the consumption levels average 10 or more containers a day.

 

Do you service businesses and community clubs?

Absolutely, we have a large customer base of sporting clubs, restaurants, café’s, offices and factories.

 

What are the size of the drums?

The drums are 200L, the best way to picture the size is to compare to a 240L council bin. They are generally 1m high by 0.6m wide.

 

Do the drums get cleaned?

Yes to the best of our ability.  The drums do tend to rust over time making them hard to completely clean.  

Old drums will be replaced as needed.
