What do you need to know about general waste?
While we’re passionate about reducing waste in landfill, we know it isn’t always possible or commercially viable to recycle all waste. General waste is made up of those materials that can’t practically or technically be recycled.
General waste can be putrescible (containing organic matter which can break down) or non-putrescible (waste that doesn’t break down easily) – you might come across these terms on your waste service invoice.
ACCEPTABLE general waste
Ideally, your general waste bin contains those materials that can’t practically or technically be recycled.
In a general waste bin, the following types of waste are typically accepted:
- Non-recyclable packaging
- Food-contaminated packaging
- Office waste
- Broken glass and ceramics
- Disposable items
- Waxed products
- Strapping and packing materials
- Damaged household items
- Light bulbs and e-waste
Please note that these guidelines may vary depending on disposal site practices, and state government legislation and regulation.

What happens to general waste?
After general waste is collected, it’s usually taken to a transfer station to be consolidated into efficient volumes for transport.
A resource recovery line may be the next step, where picking lines remove any larger pieces of recyclable material such as cardboard, metal or wood. Residual waste may then be compacted, packed into specialised trucks and transferred to a landfill facility for disposal.
However, most general waste is destined for landfill.
Across the globe, REMONDIS always working to reduce the volume of waste going to landfill. Here in Australia, we operate Refuse Derived Fuel plants (which turn non-recyclable waste into fuel pellets for industry) and we’re working on several Energy from Waste facility proposals, in which non-recyclable waste is converted into electricity.
