Frequently asked questions

What counts as contamination?

Contamination means putting the wrong items in the recycling bin: food-soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items, or anything not specifically accepted kerbside. High contamination can cause an entire truck load to be sent to landfill.

How often is recycling collected?

In many councils, recycling is collected every two weeks, often alternating with garden organics. Some areas run weekly recycling, and a few run weekly general waste with fortnightly everything else. Enter your address above to find your specific schedule.

What do I do with old electronics?

E-waste (phones, laptops, cables, printers) should never go in any kerbside bin. Most councils have e-waste drop-off points at transfer stations, and some libraries and community centres also accept small items. Check your council's website.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rain isn't an excuse. The bin doesn't care if it's raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it won't shut, it won't go.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
