Did you know?
Garden organics diverted from landfill become compost and mulch.
A full, clean green-lid bin is genuinely valuable. The material is processed into soil amendment used on farms, council parks, and revegetation projects.
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, Blacktown City included.
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Return and Earn refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in NSW, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.
Are the bins different if I rent in Doonside?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Blacktown 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
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Doonside households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Doonside means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Wednesday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Doonside bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
