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
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Gordon's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Are the bins different if I rent in Gordon?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Ku-ring-gai 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 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 Gordon can send a whole truck to landfill, and Ku-ring-gai can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Ku-ring-gai's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Know your fortnight. Gordon alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Ku-ring-gai collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
