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 I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Fairfield City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Bonnyrigg can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Fairfield City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
What happens if I miss bin night in Bonnyrigg?
General waste catches up next week, but Fairfield City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Fairfield City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Fairfield City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
