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 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 Coomera can send a whole truck to landfill, and Gold Coast City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
Why does my neighbour in Coomera have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Coomera that mostly means Thursday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Gold Coast City collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Coomera households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
