Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss bin night?

Recycling and garden organics are collected fortnightly in many councils, so a missed night can mean waiting two weeks. Some councils let you report an overflowing bin for a special collection. Check your council's website for their missed collection process.

How do I dispose of large items like furniture?

Bulky items such as mattresses and furniture do not go in any kerbside bin. Most councils offer a hard waste collection, either booked on demand or on set dates. Check your council's website for what is accepted and how to arrange it.

Why does my neighbour have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs or even different councils near a boundary. Always confirm by entering your own address rather than copying a neighbour's schedule.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid won't close. Lids need to close for collection. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends quietly push collections back a day. Check the council notice before a public holiday so you're not chasing the truck down the street.
