Dear Joe and All,
The Australian three litre containers are not reused but much care is taken
to make sure that the plastic package is recyclable. In Geelong, we have a
fortnightly collection of material for recycling in addition to our weekly
garbage collection. On alternate weeks there is a paper recycling
collection.
Cheers,
