What goes where: batteries
Correct bin: Neither bin. Drop off at Bunnings or a council facility..

Avoid: Don't put batteries in any kerbside bin, not even the general waste bin.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Fairfield City offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Canley Vale, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Fairfield City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Canley Vale can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Canley Vale households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Fairfield City's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
