Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Follow the 3R rule - (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) to make the most of your recycling efforts:

Reduce - make recycle friendly choices so you have less waste.
Reuse - use the same item more than once, rather than disposing
Recycle - buy products made from recycled materials.

Power Tool and Battery Recycling

In 2008 Bunnings conducted a three month trial recycling trial for power tools and rechargeable batteries in the Northland, Box Hill, Frankston, Shepparton and Sunshine Warehouse stores.

Eligible products included rechargeable power tools, electric (cord) hand power tools and rechargeable power tool batteries consisting of Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride and Lithium Ion.

The power tools had their non metallic components removed and shredded to allow recovery and recycling of metals. They were then recycled into the manufacture of new products.

Batteries were packed and shipped to approved battery recycling facilities and dismantled into hazardous or recyclable materials.

The trial concluded on May 31, 2008 and final results are now being collated.
