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.
Unbroken glass bottles and jars belong in recycling. Broken glass is a safety hazard for sorting staff and collection workers. Wrap it in newspaper, place it in a sealed bag, and put it in the general waste bin instead.
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.
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.
The bay suburbs each run their own collection schedules. Here are the closest ones to check.
