What goes in my bins?

Many items can be recycled or turned into compost and most importantly, kept out of landfill. To help you make the most of the 3 bin system, refer to the handy lists below for which bin to use.

For more tips and information, and a complete list of what goes in which bin, refer to our A-Z Guide at: halvewaste.com.au.

Some items that can't be recycled through your household recycling bin can be recycled elsewhere. For local options, along with tips on how to dispose of other items you cannot put in your bins, see Waste & Recycling Directory.
