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

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Moonee Ponds's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

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 Moonee Valley City's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

How often is recycling collected in Moonee Ponds?

Moonee Valley City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Moonee Valley City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Moonee Ponds households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • 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.
