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. City of Newcastle asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Broadmeadow can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
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 City of Newcastle runs use an automated arm, and bins in Broadmeadow blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Why does my neighbour in Broadmeadow 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 Broadmeadow vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Broadmeadow the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
