Frequently asked questions

Why does my neighbour in Coffs Harbour 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 Coffs Harbour vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks Coffs Harbour City runs use an automated arm, and bins in Coffs Harbour blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Are the bins different if I rent in Coffs Harbour?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Coffs Harbour City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Coffs Harbour City tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • 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.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Coffs Harbour bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
