A delayed week often means a fuller bin
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Sydney 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 Beaconsfield, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- 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 City of Sydney collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
