Recycling rule worth knowing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger bin?

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.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is recyclable. If the base is soaked with grease and cheese, tear off and recycle the clean lid, and put the greasy part in general waste. Oil contaminates the paper recycling process.

What happens if I miss bin night?

Recycling and garden organics are collected fortnightly in many councils, so a missed night can mean waiting two weeks. Some councils let you report an overflowing bin for a special collection. Check your council's website for their missed collection process.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid won't close. Lids need to close for collection. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It's a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any kerbside bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a collection point instead. Future you, and the truck driver, will thank you.
