Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Waverley Council asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Bondi Junction can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Bondi Junction's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Bondi Junction?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Waverley Council 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Bondi Junction households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push Waverley Council collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
