Frequently asked questions
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and Waverley Council 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.
Why was my bin in Bondi 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. Waverley Council has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Waverley Council shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

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 households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Waverley Council's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
