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.
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Battery Point's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Thursday.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Hobart City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Hobart City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Battery Point blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
