What goes where: takeaway coffee cups

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.

Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Carnegie?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Glen Eira City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

What happens if I miss bin night in Carnegie?

General waste catches up next week, but Glen Eira City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Glen Eira City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Glen Eira 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 Carnegie, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Glen Eira City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Glen Eira City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Glen Eira 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.
