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 goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in VIC.

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, Port Phillip City included.

Are the bins different if I rent in Middle Park?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Port Phillip City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Middle Park means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
