Recycling rule worth knowing

Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.

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.

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.

What goes in the green bin?

Green-lid bins typically take garden waste: grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and prunings. If your council runs a FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) service, food scraps can go in too, usually in an approved compostable liner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night? That's a two-week wait for general waste. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two-week smell costs something.
