What goes where: nappies and wipes
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.
Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Hornsby Shire asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Asquith can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Asquith's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Are the bins different if I rent in Asquith?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Hornsby Shire 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Asquith bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Hornsby Shire's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
