Did you know?

Compost made from kerbside organics is used on farms, parks and roadsides.

When your green bin material is processed, it becomes a soil conditioner that returns nutrients to the ground and reduces the need for synthetic fertiliser.

Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough. Containers do not need to be spotless, just empty and free of large food residue. A few seconds under the tap, or a swish with leftover dishwater, keeps the load clean without wasting water.

Can I put my bins in any spot on the kerb?

Place bins on the footpath or nature strip near the kerb, with the lid opening facing the road, and leave a gap of about half a metre around each one. Trucks with an automated arm need clear space and cannot reach bins blocked by cars, poles, or trees.

Can I get a larger bin?

Some councils offer larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as large families or medical needs. There's usually a fee. Contact your council's waste services team directly.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Loose, not bagged. Tip your recycling in loose. A tied bag can't be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • 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.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover your bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves you a very long fortnight.
