What goes where: batteries

Correct bin: Neither bin. Drop off at Bunnings or a council facility..

Batteries can cause fires in both collection trucks and at sorting facilities. Bunnings stores, some councils, and battery retailers accept used batteries for safe recycling.

Avoid: Don't put batteries in any kerbside bin, not even the general waste bin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put my bins in any spot on the kerb?

Place bins on the footpath or nature strip near the kerb, with the lid opening facing the road, and leave a gap of about half a metre around each one. Trucks with an automated arm need clear space and cannot reach bins blocked by cars, poles, or trees.

What counts as contamination?

Contamination means putting the wrong items in the recycling bin: food-soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items, or anything not specifically accepted kerbside. High contamination can cause an entire truck load to be sent to landfill.

What goes in the green bin?

Green-lid bins typically take garden waste: grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and prunings. If your council runs a FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) service, food scraps can go in too, usually in an approved compostable liner.

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.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip your recycling in loose. A tied bag can't be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Wishful recycling isn't recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best isn't recycling. It's contamination. When in doubt, it's general waste.
