Did you know?

Compost made from kerbside organics is used on farms, parks and roadsides.

When your green bin material is processed, it becomes a soil conditioner that returns nutrients to the ground and reduces the need for synthetic fertiliser.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

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.

What do I do with old electronics?

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.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Every Australian state and territory now runs a container deposit scheme, paying 10 cents for eligible drink containers returned to a depot or reverse vending machine. Containers you redeem this way are kept separate from your kerbside recycling.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends quietly push collections back a day. Check the council notice before a public holiday so you're not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover your bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves you a very long fortnight.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
