Recycling in Australia is a widespread but not comprehensive part of waste management in Australia. Various paper recycling and appliance recycling services are available.
Household recycling is encouraged through the use of recycling bins. Sampling of the contents of recycling bin in Victoria shows around 10% of the material should not have been disposed by bin.
Electronic waste collection services were mandated under The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme. The scheme was established in 2011. Australia does not have a national scheme for battery recycling. Container deposit legislation has been established in several states while others are rolling out schemes. Despite some recycling and re-use of lightweight plastic bags they are being phased out.
Clean Up Australia is a national organisation dedicated to addressing environmental issues such as recycling.
