Recycling rule worth knowing

Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.

Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

Port Macquarie-Hastings offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Bonny Hills, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Do I get money back for drink containers?

Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Why was my bin in Bonny Hills 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. Port Macquarie-Hastings has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Bonny Hills that night is Friday. These are two different things and both matter.
  • 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.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Bonny Hills bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
