Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Clovelly?
Randwick City Council 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 Clovelly can send a whole truck to landfill, and Randwick City Council can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
What happens if I miss bin night in Clovelly?
General waste catches up next week, but Randwick City 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, Randwick City Council may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Clovelly 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.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Clovelly the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
