What is general waste?
The term “general waste” refers to waste types that are unable to be recycled and will otherwise end up in a landfill or being incinerated. These waste items include:
- Some food items, such as greasy food wrappers.
- Non-recyclable plastics, such as cling film or bubble wrap.
- Non-recyclable metals, such as cookware.
- Ceramics and pottery, such as plates and cups.
- Recyclable items, such as paper or cardboard, that have been contaminated.
- Floor sweepings or bagged vacuum debris.
- Packaging such as padded envelopes or plastic-coated wrapping paper.
- Use blue rolls or napkins.
Some items are not accepted in your general waste bin collection, such as electrical items, furniture, chemicals, rubble, paint tins, carpet, batteries, or gas canisters.

General waste bins are for general waste only; other waste types, such as food or dry mixed recycling, have their own dedicated bins. Some of the items that you should NOT include in your general waste are: food, recyclables, electrical items, chemicals, rubble, batteries, or furniture.
Unfortunately, general waste is disposed of in landfills or is incinerated. That is why it is so important to separate waste types, like food waste or dry mixed recycling. By separating waste types into different bins, more waste is able to be recycled or repurposed, avoiding the unnecessary use of landfills or incineration.
