Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Most councils say bins should be at the kerb by 6 AM on collection day but can go out the evening before. Keep them off the road and clear of driveways, parked cars, and other bins.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Every Australian state and territory now runs a container deposit scheme, paying 10 cents for eligible drink containers returned to a depot or reverse vending machine. Containers you redeem this way are kept separate from your kerbside recycling.

Why was my bin not collected?

Common reasons include: the bin lid wasn't fully closed, the bin wasn't at the kerb before the truck passed, there was contamination in the recycling bin, or the bin was blocking the truck's mechanical arm. Your council's website usually has a missed collection form.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • 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.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin isn't a mulching service, but it's as close as most households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
