Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.
Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.
In many councils, recycling is collected every two weeks, often alternating with garden organics. Some areas run weekly recycling, and a few run weekly general waste with fortnightly everything else. Enter your address above to find your specific schedule.
Most councils say bins should be at the kerb by 6 AM on collection day but can go out the evening before. Keep them off the road and clear of driveways, parked cars, and other bins.
Put your bin on the footpath or nature strip, close to the kerb, with the lid opening facing the street. Keep it at least half a metre from parked cars, power poles, trees, and other bins so the collection truck's arm can reach it.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
