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
Why does my neighbour in Cherrybrook have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Cherrybrook vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What happens if I miss bin night in Cherrybrook?
General waste catches up next week, but Hornsby Shire 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, Hornsby Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
Hornsby Shire offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Cherrybrook, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Hornsby Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- 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.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
