What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I put my bin on collection day?

Put your bin on the footpath or nature strip, close to the kerb, with the lid opening facing the street. Keep it at least half a metre from parked cars, power poles, trees, and other bins so the collection truck's arm can reach it.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Most councils say bins should be at the kerb by 6 AM on collection day but can go out the evening before. Keep them off the road and clear of driveways, parked cars, and other bins.

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

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling doesn't clean itself. A 10-second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps your bin from becoming a science experiment.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half-full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
