Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.
Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
General waste catches up next week, but Somerset collects recycling fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Somerset may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Somerset 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.
