This award-winning community event offers a fantastic opportunity for families to responsibly recycle items that are too small or problematic for kerbside bins. It's a great way to teach children about sustainability and waste reduction while making a positive impact on the environment.
What to Expect
At Bottle Top Hill, you can drop off a variety of tricky-to-recycle items including plastic bottle tops, bread tags, can clips, contact lens cases, and more. The event also accepts steel and aluminium bottle tops, corks, metal keys, oral care waste, pens, markers, razors, medicinal asthma inhalers, and blister packs (fees apply). Additionally, there is a Give Write donation box on site, and batteries, light bulbs, phones, and chargers can be dropped off at the recycling hub.

This event runs monthly on Sundays from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. It is free to attend with no bookings necessary, though a gold coin donation is greatly appreciated. It is suitable for all ages, making it a perfect family outing to encourage environmental responsibility.
