Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.
Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Canberra (ACT) 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.
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.
