Did you know?
Glass can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality.
Unlike plastics, glass doesn't degrade through the recycling process. A wine bottle recycled today could become a new bottle within 30 days.
Frequently asked questions
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
What happens if I miss bin night in Bondi Beach?
General waste catches up next week, but Waverley Council 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, Waverley Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Waverley Council's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

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 Bondi Beach households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Waverley Council tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
