About your council's collection service

  • Bayside City Council provides a three-bin kerbside service across Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, and surroundings.
  • The council runs a fortnightly alternating cycle for recycling and garden organics bins.
  • Bayside's coastal location means some properties have specific bin placement requirements to avoid obstructing pathways near the bay.
  • Your specific collection day depends on your street. Enter your address above to find yours.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.

Frequently asked questions

How often is recycling collected?

In many councils, recycling is collected every two weeks, often alternating with garden organics. Some areas run weekly recycling, and a few run weekly general waste with fortnightly everything else. Enter your address above to find your specific schedule.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

The yellow-lid bin accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers (bottles, tubs, trays). Soft plastics, food waste, and contaminated packaging don't belong in it.

Can I put my bins in any spot on the kerb?

Place bins on the footpath or nature strip near the kerb, with the lid opening facing the road, and leave a gap of about half a metre around each one. Trucks with an automated arm need clear space and cannot reach bins blocked by cars, poles, or trees.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rain isn't an excuse. The bin doesn't care if it's raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip your recycling in loose. A tied bag can't be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
