Frequently asked questions

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Oaklands can send a whole truck to landfill, and Federation can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

What happens if I miss bin night in Oaklands?

General waste catches up next week, but Federation collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Federation may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

What do I do with old electronics?

Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Federation 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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Federation's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Oaklands households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Oaklands means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
