Where does it go?
Where does it actually go?
The short answer
Twenty things a clear-out turns up, each with where it actually goes. Fifteen have one answer everywhere in Australia, from batteries, medicines and phones to gas bottles, tyres and coffee pods. Five change at the state border: drink containers, electronics and screens, furniture and mattresses, paint and chemicals, and soft plastics. Those are written per state, so pick yours.
