Recycling rule worth knowing

Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..

Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.

Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Braidwood can send a whole truck to landfill, and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every NSW council, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council included.

What happens if I miss bin night in Braidwood?

General waste catches up next week, but Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional 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, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

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 Braidwood 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.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Tuesday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
