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

Are the bins different if I rent in Edmonton?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Cairns Regional supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Cairns Regional runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

How often is recycling collected in Edmonton?

Cairns Regional collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Cairns Regional tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Cairns Regional collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
