What goes where: takeaway coffee cups

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.

Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do with old electronics?

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

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in NT.

Are the bins different if I rent in Stuart Park?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever City of Darwin supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night

Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Stuart Park means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
