What goes where: batteries
Correct bin: Neither bin. Drop off at Bunnings or a council facility..
Batteries can cause fires in both collection trucks and at sorting facilities. Bunnings stores, some councils, and battery retailers accept used batteries for safe recycling.
Avoid: Don't put batteries in any kerbside bin, not even the general waste bin.
Frequently asked questions
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Gold Coast City lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Gold Coast City shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Monday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Advancetown's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Monday.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Gold Coast City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Summer bins need managing. A Advancetown red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- Check your bin before bin night. Monday evening is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
