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.
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.
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.
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.
