What goes where: takeaway coffee cups

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.

Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Corowa's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

How often is recycling collected in Corowa?

Federation 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.

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Corowa?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Federation runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Corowa households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
  • Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
