Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Albion Park?
General waste catches up next week, but Shellharbour City Council collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Shellharbour City Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Albion Park can send a whole truck to landfill, and Shellharbour City Council can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in NSW.

Quick tips for bin night
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Shellharbour City Council collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Know your fortnight. Albion Park alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
