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
How often is recycling collected in Ramsgate?
Bayside Council 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.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Bayside Council 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.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Bayside Council asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Ramsgate can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Ramsgate bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Know your fortnight. Ramsgate alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
