Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Canley Heights?
Fairfield City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
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 Canley Heights can send a whole truck to landfill, and Fairfield City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

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.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Fairfield City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
