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

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Every Australian state and territory now runs a container deposit scheme, paying 10 cents for eligible drink containers returned to a depot or reverse vending machine. Containers you redeem this way are kept separate from your kerbside recycling.

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.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

The yellow-lid bin accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers (bottles, tubs, trays). Soft plastics, food waste, and contaminated packaging don't belong in it.

Quick tips for bin night

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.
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.
Flatten before you fill. A single un-flattened box can eat half your recycling bin. Break it down first and you'll fit a fortnight of cardboard without a fight.
