Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. Camden Council asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Catherine Field can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
What happens if I miss bin night in Catherine Field?
General waste catches up next week, but Camden 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, Camden Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Are the bins different if I rent in Catherine Field?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Camden 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Catherine Field red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- 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 Catherine Field bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
