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 Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council runs use an automated arm, and bins in Karabar blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council 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.
What happens if I miss bin night in Karabar?
General waste catches up next week, but Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Karabar the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Karabar means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
