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
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Canada Bay lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Canada Bay can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Canada Bay can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in NSW.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Canada Bay means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Summer bins need managing. A Canada Bay red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Canada Bay's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
