Compact Fluorescent Light Globe Recycling for Householders

Through the Zero Waste SA BackLight Household Light Globe Recycling Program, Mitre 10 and True Value Hardware stores will take back used or unwanted light globes from householders (not commercial users) for recycling, free of charge.

The nearest Mitre 10 store is Mitre 10 Handy Moonta at Lot 4 Military Road, Moonta, 5558 SA, which has recycling boxes located behind the checkout registers. Customers can bring in their old light globes and give them to staff.

The nearest True Value Store is Wallaroo Hardware at 21 Owen Tce, Wallaroo

Householders are advised not to place compact fluorescent globes or other fluorescent tubes in their kerbside recycling bin. These items need to be recycled with a specific process. The mercury powder contained in them is a significant contamination concern for the broader recycling industry.

The Environment Protection (Waste to Resources) Policy 2010 will ban fluorescent and other mercury containing lighting from landfill, from September 2012 in metropolitan Adelaide, and September 2013 for the rest of the State.

Commercial or Industrial Options

There are fee-for-service options available for commercial and industrial users to ensure their fluoro tubes and globes are diverted from landfill and recycled such as CMA Ecocycle, Lamp Recyclers, Chemsal, or CYL recycle.

Recycling Tips

  • Don't put oven-proof glass, drinking glasses or ceramic mugs in your bin. Just 25g of oven-proof glass can contaminate one tonne of normal glass, making it useless for recycling.
  • When you put materials into your recycling bin, don't ever put them in a plastic bag.
  • Recycle your printer cartridges. The ‘Cartridges 4 Planet Ark' program recycles participating brands of cartridges Australia-wide.
  • Keep recycling those newspapers and magazines! Last year, Australians recycled the equivalent of 1 billion newspapers into newsprint and other paper materials. When it comes to newspapers and magazines, Australia is arguably the best recyclers in the world.
  • Rinse out containers, jars and bottles before putting them in your recycling bin. They don't have to be spotless, just give them a quick clean.
  • Remove the lids from bottles and jars before putting items your recycling bin.
  • Pizza boxes, paper bags or cardboard boxes containing food also need special treatment before putting them into your recycling bin. Take out all food items before recycling and remember if the cardboard/paper box or paper bag is too soiled or greasy it cannot be recycled.
  • 47% of Australia's household waste is made up of organic waste like food scraps and garden cuttings. That's a huge amount of waste .Consider investing in a compost bin, bokashi bin or worm farm to make good use of your organic waste and keep it out of landfill.

Green Waste Collection Service Survey

The District Council of the Copper Coast is exploring the provision of a fortnightly or monthly green waste kerbside collection service. We understand all residents may not require this service and therefore are looking at a voluntary system based on residents opting in. The more residents that are interested in the service, the cheaper it is for all those involved.
