It takes a plastic bottle centuries to break down in landfill.
The same bottle, recycled, can become new packaging, clothing fibre or carpet within months. Rigid plastic bottles are one of the easiest wins in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
Are the bins different if I rent in Camperdown?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Inner West Council supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Inner West Council asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Camperdown can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Camperdown households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
