Did you know?

Electronic waste is the fastest-growing waste stream in Australia.

Phones, laptops, and cables shouldn't go in any kerbside bin. Most councils have e-waste drop-off points at transfer stations or library branches.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Somerset 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.

Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?

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.

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Fernvale can send a whole truck to landfill, and Somerset can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Fernvale bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Somerset's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
