Over 1 billion coffee cups are used in Australia each year, and very few are recyclable.

The plastic lining makes standard takeaway cups non-recyclable in kerbside bins. Compostable alternatives are growing, but need commercial composting facilities to process properly.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as contamination?

Contamination means putting the wrong items in the recycling bin: food-soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items, or anything not specifically accepted kerbside. High contamination can cause an entire truck load to be sent to landfill.

Where should I put my bin on collection day?

Put your bin on the footpath or nature strip, close to the kerb, with the lid opening facing the street. Keep it at least half a metre from parked cars, power poles, trees, and other bins so the collection truck's arm can reach it.

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.

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.
  • Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends quietly push collections back a day. Check the council notice before a public holiday so you're not chasing the truck down the street.
  • Wishful recycling isn't recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best isn't recycling. It's contamination. When in doubt, it's general waste.
