Be a BINfluencer and WIN!
Published on 26 February 2025
Are you the go-to recycler in your street? Do you inspire your neighbours with your stellar sorting skills? Council is searching for the Region’s ultimate BINfluencers!
Waste and Recycling Councillor Shane Latcham said the BINfluencer competition is all about recognising and rewarding those who set a shining example when it comes to getting their household waste and recycling bin habits sorted.
“A BINfluencer is someone who not only sorts their recyclables correctly but also inspires their street to follow suit,” Cr Latcham said.
“If you’re the person reminding everyone when bin night is, making sure your yellow lid recycling bin is free from contamination, and keeping recyclables loose, clean, and sorted, you are the BINfluencer we’re looking for!
“Each month, one lucky BINfluencer will receive a fantastic prize pack, including a Rockhampton Zoo Encounter valued at $110 and a Reviva Ibis Reuse Shop Gift Voucher valued at $40.”
The BINfluencer Competition is open now to all Rockhampton Region residential households that receive a kerbside bin collection service.
“Entering the competition is easy - just place your bins out for collection as usual and ensure you’re recycling correctly by keeping lids off, keeping items clean, and placing them loose in your yellow lid bin,” Cr Latcham said.
“Make sorting simple by recycling items like glass bottles and jars, paper and cardboard, steel tins, aluminium cans and aerosols, and accepted plastic containers with recycling classification numbers 1, 2, 4, and/or 5 on the plastic products.
“If you think you tick all these boxes, enter now to go into the draw to win.
“Your entry will be placed in a monthly draw and cross checked against results of Council’s Bin Health Check Program.”
