Contamination rates in Australian recycling bins average around 15%.
When non-recyclables end up in the yellow bin, they can divert entire loads to landfill. The most common contaminants are soft plastics, food waste, and soiled packaging.
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Victoria, and Whitehorse City 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.
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Whitehorse City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Vermont blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Vermont can send a whole truck to landfill, and Whitehorse City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
