You can view the video below or open it in a new window

Anyone is welcome to complete the quiz but only Northern Beaches residents (excluding Northern Beaches Council staff and their immediate family) can go into the monthly prize draw.

Start by watching the video

* Throwing your mobile phone into your bin means it will end up in landfill. The heavy metals in your mobile can leach out into the environment. The good news is that the plastics and metals in your mobile phones can be made into new products!

Hint: best to refer to 'Mobile Phones & Batteries' in our Recycling A to Z:

Local post office

A Mobile Muster drop-off point

Mobile phone stores

Officeworks

* 6. What should you do with that worn out mattress? (tick all that apply)

Dump it

Put it out for your council clean up

Drop it off at Kimbriki (fees apply)

Re-use it where possible, e.g. Kombi van or a children’s tree house

* 7. Up to 40% of the average Australian general waste bin (red or dark green lid) is made up of food waste. When this waste goes to landfill the lack of air causes it to produce harmful greenhouse gases as it decomposes.

The young boy in the video had a great suggestion for food scraps. What was his suggestion? (tick only one)

Put them in your red bin

Set up a worm farm or compost bin and compost the waste

Feed them to your chooks

Put them in your green bin

* 8. Did you know that overfilled bins can spill rubbish into our streets that end up in our waterways and kill marine wildlife? The lady in the video suggested you should recycle your plastic bags at your local supermarket.

What can you place in the REDcycle bin at your local Coles or Woolworths for recycling? (tick all that apply)
Hint: you can find out more under 'Plastic Bags' in our Recycling A to Z
