To dispose of soil in Adelaide, start by differentiating between clean and contaminated soil. If the soil is clean, consider reusing it for landscaping, offer it to others or place it in your garden waste bin. However, for larger quantities of soil, consider hiring a skip bin for soil removal, dirt or sand. Just make sure the soil is free of any contaminants. You can also place sand, dirt, clay and stones into this waste-type bin.

Start with the obvious clutter. Begin decluttering by getting rid of any clear rubbish or recycling in your home.

The rule of 5 for decluttering is to remove at least 5 items from each room to throw out, donate or recycle.

Decluttering 20 rule: If you can replace an item for less than $20 or in under 20 minutes, it’s likely unnecessary to keep.

Recycled batteries in Australia are typically processed to recover valuable materials, like metals and plastic. The precious metals and plastics are then used to create something new.

When disposed of incorrectly, some batteries still end up in landfill, where they can release harmful chemicals that can contaminate soil and water.

Batteries should never be discarded in any kerb-side bins because they are hazardous to the environment. Batteries need to be recycled and sorted at recycling centres and facilities.

Yes, bricks can be recycled whether they are broken or in perfect condition. To recycle bricks you need a specific brick disposal skip bin – like the brick and concrete bin at Just Skips.

If you need brick removal, you can hire a brick and concrete skip bin from a local waste removal company.

The most effective ways to remove any rocks from your soil is by using a tiller, a rake or a wheelbarrow with a wire screening fence over the top (this will essentially work as a strainer).

If you have hard soil lying around your yard, the best way to soften it is to add compost and use a hand cultivating tool. This way you can re-use it for future projects.

Improperly disposing of tyres can attract pests and create environmental hazards. Therefore, it is crucial to dispose of tires responsibly and consider recycling options we touched on above.

Yes, broken or damaged tyres can still be recycled. In the recycling process, the tyres are typically shredded into smaller pieces. These pieces are then processed to separate the rubber, steel, and fibres for reuse in various ways.

Commonly, Scrap tyres are processed to recover valuable materials such as rubber, steel, and textile fibres. These materials can be used to produce new tyres, playground surfaces, athletic tracks, construction materials, and more.

Most e-waste contains precious resources like gold, steel, aluminium, plastic and glass – all of which can be reused and recycled into other products (circular economy). They’re also full of toxic chemicals that leach into our soil and water supply if dumped in landfill, so recycling e-waste is the only sustainable and legal disposal method.

Environmentalists believe that e-waste will increase by more than 60% (approximately 223,000 tonnes) by 2024, according to the Victorian Government. Since e-waste is responsible for 70% of the toxic chemicals that end up in our soil and water supply, it’s vital that everyone is proactive when it comes to e-waste recycling.

The Australian government has developed an e-waste recycling scheme that allows everyone to recycle their electronic waste for free. This way, the valuable materials, including aluminium, gold, silver, and copper can be recovered and reused for something new. However, you can’t just throw your electronics into the yellow recycling bin. You will need to take them to a free recycling drop off point yourself.

Glass on your mobile will take around 1 million years to break down, the plastic on your computer mouse is estimated around 3-4 million years to decompose and your heavy-duty battery will last a similar time period.
