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

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 VIC council, Maroondah City included.

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 Kilsyth 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

  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Kilsyth bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • 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.
