Frequently asked questions

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Every Australian state and territory now runs a container deposit scheme, paying 10 cents for eligible drink containers returned to a depot or reverse vending machine. Containers you redeem this way are kept separate from your kerbside recycling.

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.

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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Rain isn't an excuse. The bin doesn't care if it's raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
