Frequently asked questions
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Aberdeen's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every NSW council, Upper Hunter Shire included.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Aberdeen the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
