Did you know?
Recycling one tonne of paper saves around 13 trees and thousands of litres of water.
Paper can be recycled five to seven times before the fibres become too short. Keeping it clean and dry in the yellow bin is what makes that possible.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Berowra?
General waste catches up next week, but Hornsby Shire collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Hornsby Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Berowra?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Hornsby Shire 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 do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Hornsby Shire 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.

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 Berowra bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- 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.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
