Can someone tell me whether this can go in my recycling bin in Darebin? Website is unclear - says cardboard milk cartons only, partner thinks no, I think yes.
I think the difference is milk cartons are made of cardboard and tetra paks have other components in them like aluminium and plastic. Tetra paks can be recycled but we don’t have the facilities to do that.
Except some of the machines don’t accept certain brands/sizes. I tried returning the Aldi branded stuff (1L and 2L cartons) and didn’t go through. The little juice boxes were okay though.

Tetra paks are not recyclable
Tetra packs are 10c to recycle in WA. Not certain of the 1 litre ones, but the kids juice boxes are.
Cool. Well, not cool, but thanks… So what’s a cardboard milk carton then? The 1 litres from the fridge?

Huh, well there’s this option now apparently.

if you go to the manned ones they can put it through manually.
Yeah, you can take some of them back to the CDS thing. I buy my milk from aldi though, and they don’t do the 10 cent thing, so they aren’t eligible
