Living near parks and waterways means more yard material. Council has a separate stream for that.

A delayed week often means a fuller bin

When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.

Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.

Frequently asked questions

How do I dispose of large items like furniture?

Bulky items such as mattresses and furniture do not go in any kerbside bin. Most councils offer a hard waste collection, either booked on demand or on set dates. Check your council's website for what is accepted and how to arrange it.

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.

Are bottle caps recyclable?

Metal screw-top lids from glass jars and bottles can stay on when you put them in the yellow bin. Small plastic caps on plastic bottles should generally be removed, as they're often a different plastic type. Large plastic lids from takeaway containers are fine in recycling.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any kerbside bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a collection point instead. Future you, and the truck driver, will thank you.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It's a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • 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.
