Contamination.
We hate it, our collectors hate it, the sorting staff at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) hate it, and the farmers especially hate it in FOGO (FOGO gets turned into compost for
agricultural use). Contamination is putting the wrong thing in the wrong bin.
Like plastic shopping bags in Recycling or FOGO
(Hint – they ONLY go in the general waste bin, or back to Coles or Woolworths for their free soft plastic recycling bins. No plastic bags in Recycling or FOGO bins. Ever.
