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.
E-waste (phones, laptops, cables, printers) should never go in any kerbside bin. Most councils have e-waste drop-off points at transfer stations, and some libraries and community centres also accept small items. Check your council's website.
The yellow-lid bin accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers (bottles, tubs, trays). Soft plastics, food waste, and contaminated packaging don't belong in it.
Some councils offer larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as large families or medical needs. There's usually a fee. Contact your council's waste services team directly.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
