Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
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.
Bulky items such as mattresses and furniture do not go in any kerbside bin. Most councils offer a hard waste collection, either booked on demand or on set dates. Check your council's website for what is accepted and how to arrange it.
E-waste (phones, laptops, cables, printers) should never go in any kerbside bin. Most councils have e-waste drop-off points at transfer stations, and some libraries and community centres also accept small items. Check your council's website.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
