Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
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.
The yellow-lid bin accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers (bottles, tubs, trays). Soft plastics, food waste, and contaminated packaging don't belong in it.
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.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
