Recycling rule worth knowing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put broken glass in the recycling 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.

How do I dispose of large items like furniture?

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.

What goes in the green bin?

Green-lid bins typically take garden waste: grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and prunings. If your council runs a FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) service, food scraps can go in too, usually in an approved compostable liner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin isn't a mulching service, but it's as close as most households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It's a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid won't close. Lids need to close for collection. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
