Cardboard boxes (waxed)
Can I put this in my recycling bin?
Put these in your rubbish bin.
Where do the waxed cardboard boxes go?
Waxed cardboard boxes aren’t suitable for paper recycling due to their wax coating. They shouldn’t be considered the same as regular paper and cardboard.
Household waste and recycling collections will continue as normal.
Council waste and recycling facilities, including collection, treatment, disposal and transfer stations, are now open across all of Victoria.
Visitors must follow all directions and instructions for maintaining a COVIDSafe environment.
For more information on the location of your nearest facility, check the waste and recycling advice for your local council area.
For more information and updates, visit the Victorian Government’s coronavirus (COVID-19) website.
