Recycling rule worth knowing
Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
Frequently asked questions
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 NSW council, Penrith City Council included.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Colyton's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
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 Penrith City Council runs use an automated arm, and bins in Colyton blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- Know your fortnight. Colyton alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Colyton 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 Colyton households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
