Recycling rule worth knowing

Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.

An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.

Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Darwin asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Coconut Grove 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 Coconut Grove?

General waste catches up next week, but City of Darwin 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 Darwin may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Can I recycle pizza boxes?

A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every NT council, City of Darwin included.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Darwin tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Coconut Grove means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Coconut Grove households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
