Waste programs

We offer a range of waste programs to help you safely recycle and dispose of items that don’t belong in your household bins. These programs support a cleaner community by reducing landfill, preventing environmental harm and improving safety.

Find the right disposal option

Use the sections below to find the right option for electronics, batteries, chemicals, agricultural waste and refundable containers.

Why these programs matter

Some items can’t go in your household bins because they:

Contain hazardous materials

Require specialised recycling or handling

Can damage the environment if disposed of incorrectly

Using the right program helps ensure these items are managed safely and responsibly.

E‑Waste Recycling

Electronic waste (e‑waste) includes items with plugs, batteries or circuitry and must not be placed in household waste or recycling bins.

Containers for Change

The program makes recycling easy, supports local jobs and community initiatives, and reduces the amount of recyclable material sent to landfill.

Hazardous and regulated waste

Some waste items require special handling and disposal to protect people, animals and the environment.
