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
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Bellmere's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Why does my neighbour in Bellmere have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Bellmere vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Moreton Bay collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
