Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Berry's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

What happens if I miss bin night in Berry?

General waste catches up next week, but Shoalhaven City 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, Shoalhaven City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Why was my bin in Berry not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Shoalhaven City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Berry households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Shoalhaven City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Shoalhaven City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
