Frequently asked questions
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.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Sydney lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
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 Alexandria can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Sydney can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Alexandria means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Alexandria bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Sydney's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
