Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Willoughby City asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Artarmon can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Are the bins different if I rent in Artarmon?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Willoughby City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Willoughby City runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Artarmon bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on Willoughby City'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.
  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Artarmon bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
