Did you know?

Around 130 kilograms of food waste is thrown out per person in Australia each year.

Most of it could be diverted through a FOGO service or home composting. Food in landfill breaks down without oxygen and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Frequently asked questions

How often is recycling collected in Chatswood?

Willoughby 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 Chatswood can send a whole truck to landfill, and Willoughby City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Chatswood?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Willoughby City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Chatswood bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
