Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Sydney shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in NSW.
What happens if I miss bin night in Chippendale?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Sydney 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, City of Sydney may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Sydney's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Chippendale bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Chippendale means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
