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

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Maroondah City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Heathmont blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Maroondah City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Heathmont can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Maroondah City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Maroondah City'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.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Maroondah City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Maroondah City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
