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
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 Kardinya can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Melville can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Melville shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every WA council, City of Melville included.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- Summer bins need managing. A Kardinya red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Kardinya means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
