Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Cairns Regional runs use an automated arm, and bins in Earlville blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Cairns Regional 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.
Nearby suburbs have their own bin days, sometimes different from yours. Here they are.
