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

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.

Where should I put my bin on collection day?

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.

Can I put my bins in any spot on the kerb?

Place bins on the footpath or nature strip near the kerb, with the lid opening facing the road, and leave a gap of about half a metre around each one. Trucks with an automated arm need clear space and cannot reach bins blocked by cars, poles, or trees.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling doesn't clean itself. A 10-second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps your bin from becoming a science experiment.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it won't shut, it won't go.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover your bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves you a very long fortnight.
