Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Allawah?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Georges River Council runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
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 Allawah can send a whole truck to landfill, and Georges River Council can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Georges River Council offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Allawah, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Georges River Council tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Georges River Council'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.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
